Mbappe Denied at the Death as Betis Beat Real Madrid

On Friday, Republic of Ireland international Troy Parrott scored the decisive goal in his home debut, leading Real Betis to a 1-0 victory over Real Madrid at Estadio De La Cartuja.
Manuel Pellegrini's Real Betis entered seeking a rebound following a 5-2 loss to Levante, while Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid aimed to extend a three-game winning streak in La Liga.
Parrott scored in the 81st minute after Thibaut Courtois parried a Pablo Fornals header, while VAR disallowed a potential 87th-minute equalizer by Carlos Espi for offside.
Kylian Mbappé failed to convert a 94th-minute penalty after Natan's foul, allowing Real Betis to preserve the lead and move level with Real Madrid on nine points.
The Dubliner, who joined the Seville club from AZ Alkmaar last month, provided decisive impact after coming on in the 68th minute, signaling a strong start to his Spanish career.
