Troy Parrott Scores Winner As Real Betis Beat Real Madrid
Republic of Ireland striker Troy Parrott came off the bench to score the winner as Real Betis beat Real Madrid 1-0, with Kylian Mbappe missing an injury-time penalty, according to AOL. The Dubliner entered the match as a 68th-minute substitute in his third appearance for the club following his £17.1m move from AZ Alkmaar.
Parrott pounced to score from close range after Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois parried Nelson Deossa’s header. This outcome halted the three-match winning sequence that began Jose Mourinho’s return to the Real Madrid dugout.

An acrobatic volley from a Vinicius Jr delivery made Carlos Espi believe he had salvaged a draw for the away side, only for the video assistant referee to disallow the goal for offside. Later in stoppage time, Real Madrid were awarded a penalty for a foul on Vinicius Jr, but Mbappe’s injury-time effort was saved by Alvaro Valles.
The fixture marked Parrott’s first goal for Manuel Pellegrini’s Betis side. The victory lifted Real Betis following their earlier 5-2 win over Osasuna where a brace from Isco helped the Seville club climb to third place in the La Liga table, as reported by RTE.ie.
