Betis beat Real Madrid 1-0 in a match played at the Estadio Benito Villamarín, ending José Mourinho's unbeaten run in his second spell at the Blancos club. The result represents the Portuguese coach's first defeat since returning to command of the Whites.
The match was marked by Betis' tactical discipline, who managed to neutralize Real Madrid's attacks throughout the game. The decisive goal came at a crucial moment, taking advantage of a lapse in the Madrid defense.
With this result, Mourinho loses the unbeaten record he had maintained since his return to Real Madrid. The Portuguese coach had built a series of consecutive victories that demonstrated the team's recovery after an irregular period.
The defeat against Betis puts pressure on Mourinho and raises questions about the consistency of the Blancos team at this stage of the season. The Madrid club thus sees a positive run of results interrupted that had fueled fans' expectations for the competition.
