Real Madrid controlled the match at La Cartuja, but Real Betis had the only goal that counted. Troy Parrott struck in the 80th minute to give Betis a 1-0 victory and hand Madrid their first defeat of the LaLiga season.

I think the team played a great match. Sometimes you lose and you do not know how to explain it.

· José MourinhoThe Real Madrid coach reacted after his team dominated but lost.

The result ended Real Madrid’s run of three consecutive wins from the start of the championship. Betis moved into third place on six points, level with Madrid and Barcelona. Barcelona remained top before its Sunday visit to Valencia.

Madrid created the clearer chances. Dean Huijsen saw an early effort saved by Álvaro Valles, while Vinícius Júnior hit the post after a pass from Arda Güler. Kylian Mbappé also struck the woodwork and later missed a stoppage-time penalty after a video review considered a possible Betis infringement in the area. The penalty was not retaken.

We are leaving frustrated because we did more.

· José MourinhoMourinho described Madrid’s reaction to the defeat.

Valles kept Betis in the match with several saves, including the decisive stop from Mbappé. Betis also threatened through Antony, whose shot tested Thibaut Courtois. José Mourinho said Madrid had played well but lacked accuracy and left frustrated because he believed his team had done more.

We clearly deserved to win.
