Antonio Sanabria struck deep into stoppage time to hand Real
Betis a shock 1-0 win away to Real Madrid on Wednesday as the European
champions failed to score for the first time in 74 matches.
Defeat
leaves Real already seven points adrift of leaders Barcelona just five games
into their defence of La Liga having failed to win in all three home games so
far this season.
Even
the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo on his return from a five-match domestic ban
couldn't break Betis' resistance as former Real goalkeeper Antonio Adan
produced stunning saves from Isco, Toni Kroos and Gareth Bale.
And
Betis snatched all three points in the 93rd minute when Sanabria powered home a
header from Antonio Barragan's cross.
"Last
year we won games we didn't deserve to and now it is the reverse," said
Real coach Zinedine Zidane.
