Real Betis beat Real Madrid 1-0 in a match played at the Estadio Benito Villamarín. Young striker Troy Parrott was the author of the match's only goal, scored in the 81st minute of play.
With this result, Real Madrid suffered their first defeat since José Mourinho's return as head coach of the team. The Portuguese manager had begun his second spell at the club with a run of victories, but saw his team defeated by the Betis side.
Parrott's goal came at a crucial moment in the match, when the game seemed to be heading towards a goalless draw. The young Irish player took advantage of a defensive lapse to score the goal that decided the match in favour of the home team.
This defeat represents a setback for Mourinho's plans, as he intended to keep the team in the race for the top positions in the league table. Real Betis, for their part, secured an important victory that demonstrates the competitiveness of the Seville side against the giants of Spanish football.
