Troy Parrott strikes late as Mourinho loses first game since Real Madrid return

Real Madrid's flawless start to the LaLiga season came to an abrupt end at the Benito Villamarin. Troy Parrott's late strike gave Real Betis a hard-fought victory and handed Jose Mourinho his first defeat since returning to the Madrid dugout, a night made even more painful by Kylian Mbappe's failure from the penalty spot deep into stoppage time.

• Troy Parrott scored the winner in the 81st minute after reacting to a Thibaut Courtois save.
• Kylian Mbappe hit the crossbar and then missed a penalty in stoppage time.
• Carlos Espi had a spectacular bicycle-kick goal disallowed for offside after a VAR review.
• Alvaro Valles saved Mbappe's penalty to protect Betis's lead and seal the three points.
• Jose Mourinho defended his players and said they deserved to win.

Parrott pounces in the box to ignite the Benito Villamarin

The Republic of Ireland striker had only been on the pitch since the 68th minute when he found himself in the right place at the right time. Courtois parried a header into a dangerous area and Parrott reacted sharply to break the deadlock and score the opening goal of the match.

The goal landed like a blow on a Real Madrid side that had controlled long stretches of the game. Betis, lifted by a passionate home crowd, turned the Villamarin into a fortress during the closing stages and made that loose ball count.

Mbappe goes from crossbar to decisive penalty miss

Four minutes after the Betis goal, Kylian Mbappe fired against the crossbar. The French forward had the clearest chance to level the match before the game entered its final stretch, but his effort refused to go in.

The most dramatic moment arrived deep into stoppage time. Natan brought down Vinicius Junior inside the area and the referee pointed to the spot. Mbappe stepped up, but Alvaro Valles guessed correctly, saved the kick and sent the Villamarin into raptures.

Espi's disallowed overhead kick and Deossa's late warning

Real Madrid thought they had equalised through a stunning bicycle kick from substitute Carlos Espi after a cross from Vinicius Junior. The goal was ruled out after a VAR review showed offside, leaving the visitors empty-handed.

Betis came close to sealing the win before the penalty drama. Nelson Deossa spotted Courtois off his line and tried his luck from distance, but the Belgian goalkeeper recovered to make the save and keep the score at 1-0.

Mourinho's reaction after the defeat

I don't know how we lost because we played very well collectively. I cannot fault the attitude of any of my players. We deserved to win but deserving to win does not give you points.

The Portuguese coach defended his squad's work and refused to single out Mbappe for the missed penalty. Mourinho also offered a pointed assessment of his opponents and the atmosphere inside the ground.

I'm very happy with my players, all of them. I cannot fault any of them individually. As for the penalty, when one of us steps up to take it, we all stand together. The Betis players are more streetwise than the Real Madrid players, who are very honest. With the backing of a fantastic crowd, they manage to gain these kinds of advantage.

PSG also lose ground in Ligue 1

The weekend brought another surprise in France. Paris Saint-Germain took the lead against Monaco through Marquinhos in the 31st minute and looked on course for a first league win of the season, but Monaco turned the match around with goals from Flavio Nazinho and Stanis Idumbo.

Monaco remain top of Ligue 1 as the only team to have won their first three games. PSG, who had drawn with Rennes and Lille in their opening two matches, suffered their first league defeat hours after announcing contract extensions for Luis Enrique and several players.
