Real Betis 1 - 0 Real Madrid FT
Troy Parrott scored his first Real Betis goal in his third appearance for the club
Republic of Ireland striker Troy Parrott came off the bench to score the winner as Real Betis beat Real Madrid - with Kylian Mbappe missing an injury-time penalty.
The Dubliner came on in the 68th minute and pounced to score from close range after Thibaut Courtois parried Nelson Deossa's header.

This was his third appearance and his first goal for Manuel Pellegrini's Betis since his £17.1m move from AZ Alkmaar.
Carlos Espi thought he had rescued a point for the visitors with an acrobatic volley from Vinicius Jr's cross but it was ruled out for offside by the video assistant referee.
And even later than that, Madrid were awarded a penalty for a foul on Vinicius but Mbappe's injury-time effort was saved by Alvaro Valles.
The result ended Jose Mourinho's three-game winning start to his second spell as Real Madrid manager.
