José Mourinho suffered his first defeat as Real Madrid manager as his side lost 1-0 away to Real Betis at La Cartuja, in a Real Betis Real Madrid clash from Matchday 4 of La Liga.
Match summary
Unbeaten and sitting top of the table after a 4-1 win over Real Sociedad on his bench debut, Mourinho watched his side create plenty of chances without scoring — including a Carlos Espí overhead-kick effort ruled out for offside.
Substitute Troy Parrott, on the pitch for just 13 minutes, pounced on a rebound off Thibaut Courtois — who had just denied a Nelson Deossa header from a corner — to break the deadlock in the 81st minute.
Deep into stoppage time, Natan fouled Vinícius inside the box to concede a penalty, but Kylian Mbappé's weak effort was saved by Betis goalkeeper Álvaro Valles, sealing the win for the hosts.
