Real Betis stunned Real Madrid with a 1-0 victory on Friday, handing the visitors a frustrating defeat in a game where missed chances proved costly.
Madrid struggled to make their attacking pressure count as Betis remained organised and dangerous on the break. The home side eventually found the breakthrough to take control of the contest.
Real Madrid thought they had a chance to change the outcome when they were awarded a penalty, but Kylian Mbappé failed to convert from the spot, missing a golden opportunity to bring his side level.
There was further drama when Betis had a goal from Espi ruled out, keeping Madrid within touching distance of an equaliser.
Despite pushing forward in the closing stages, Real Madrid could not find a way past the Betis defence. The hosts held firm to secure a memorable 1-0 win and claim all three points.
The defeat will be a major disappointment for Madrid, particularly after Mbappé’s penalty miss and the visitors’ inability to turn their chances into goals. Betis, meanwhile, will celebrate an impressive result against one of Spain’s biggest clubs.
