Real Madrid suffered their first defeat of the season.

Jose Mourinho's team lost 0:1 away to Sevilla's Real Betis.

Until the 80th minute, there were no significant events in the match, but then Real Betis newcomer Troy Parrott scored, putting the hosts ahead.

Just after the substitution, Carlos Espi sent the ball into the net during added time. However, after a VAR review, a foul was recorded in the goal situation – Betis remained in the lead.

In the fourth minute of added time, Kylian Mbappe had a perfect opportunity to equalize after Vinicius provoked an 11-meter penalty. The Frenchman, however, was not accurate enough.

The referee consulted VAR regarding certain illegal incidents during Mbappe's penalty, but the officials saw nothing wrong, despite the fact that Marc Bartra, who cleared the ball, had stepped into the penalty area earlier than allowed.

Real Betis and Real Madrid are now tied on points.
