Real Betis defeats Real Madrid after late disallowed goal

Real Madrid fell 1-0 to Real Betis as a late equalizer from Carlos Espi was overturned by match officials. Espi scored with an overhead kick in the 87th minute, but VAR ruled the goal invalid after reviewing the sequence with La Liga's new sensor-equipped match ball. The technology identified that Espi was in an offside position at the start of the attacking build-up. Earlier in the match, the same ball sensors helped officials overturn a corner kick awarded to Real Madrid, determining instead that a shot from Dean Huijsen had hit the crossbar rather than the gloves of goalkeeper Alvaro Valles. Despite the late pressure, Real Betis maintained their 1-0 lead to secure the result at the Villamarin. Real Madrid now turns its attention to an upcoming Champions League match against Inter Milan.
