winner as Real Betis upset Real Madrid
Real Betis defeated Real Madrid 1-0 in a La Liga match following a late goal by substitute Troy Parrott. Despite Madrid's dominance and a missed penalty by Kylian Mbappé, Betis secured the upset victory.
Why it matters
The result is a significant upset in Spanish football, impacting the early-season standings and highlighting the competitive nature of La Liga.
Republic of Ireland international Troy Parrott made it a home debut to remember for Real Betis as he came off the bench to score the match-winning goal against La Liga giants Real Madrid.
The Dubliner, who joined the Seville club from AZ Alkmaar last month, was the central figure as the hosts broke the deadlock in the 82nd minute at Estadio De La Cartujo.
Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made a fantastic save to deny Nelson Deossa's bullet of a header from a corner, but he could only parry it into the path of Parrott, who was quickest to react to fire home.
