Madrid loses its papers and falls defeated on the field of Betis (1-0)

BarcelonaTragic night for Real Madrid on the Betis pitch, where they suffered their first defeat of the season. In a very heated match, Mbappé missed a penalty in the final seconds that the Madrid supporters demanded be retaken because a local player had entered the box (1-0). The Frenchman did not have his day, as in the first half he would miss an opportunity almost at an empty goal and when he could have avoided the defeat, he would run into a great Álvaro Vallés on the penalty kick.

The white team faced the first complicated trip of the season to the field of a Betis that needed to react after conceding five goals at the Levante field. And the match was well balanced, with both teams exchanging phases of dominance. In the first half, it was the Madrid team that reached the opposing goal more thanks to Arda Güler, but Vinícius and Mbappé could not manage to escape Fran García and a Bellerín who signed a great game in defense. The best chance would be for the Madrid players, but neither Mbappé nor Vinicius would score the goal when it seemed impossible not to. Betis, despite losing Llorente due to a broken nose, ended up shaking off Madrid's dominance before the break with a good opportunity created by Anthony.

But the goals did not arrive until the second half, when a Madrid that looked increasingly tired was seen. 10 minutes before the end, Betis scored from a corner. Despite a great first save by Courtois, the Irishman Parrott scored his first goal with the Seville team's jersey. Against the ropes, Mourinho managed to celebrate the equalizer thanks to a spectacular shot by the Valencian Espí, who had just entered. But the VAR discovered an offside that left the Portuguese coach stunned.

To top it all off, in the 94th minute, in a penalty for a handball by Nathan, Vallés stopped Mbappé's shot. The referee initially ordered the kick to be retaken, thinking that Bartra had entered the area before the Frenchman's shot, but the VAR indicated that no local player had done so completely, a decision that provoked Mourinho's complaints. In the end, Vinicius ended up protesting to the referee in a stadium that was celebrating wildly.
