Real Betis secured a 1-0 victory over Real Madrid on September 4, 2026, in a La Liga fixture. Republic of Ireland striker Troy Parrott scored the decisive goal in the 68th minute after entering the match as a substitute. The goal, his first for the club since joining from AZ Alkmaar, came following a rebound from a Nelson Deossa header saved by Thibaut Courtois. Real Madrid attempted a late comeback, but an acrobatic volley by Carlos Espi was disallowed for offside following a video assistant referee review. Kylian Mbappe missed an opportunity to equalize during injury time, with his penalty kick saved by Alvaro Valles. This result concludes the three-game winning streak that Jose Mourinho maintained at the start of his second managerial tenure with the club.
