Troy Parrott assists Real Betis in 1-0 win over Getafe
Real Betis secured a 1-0 victory over Getafe in La Liga, driven by an assist from Ireland international Troy Parrott. The 24-year-old striker played 72 minutes, making a significant impact early in the match with an audacious long-range shot from near the halfway line that forced a save from goalkeeper David Soria.
Just before halftime, Parrott provided the decisive cutback that allowed Abde Ezzalzouli to score the winning goal. Although the play was initially under review for a potential handball, VAR confirmed the goal. This marks Parrott’s first assist since joining the club from AZ Alkmaar, bringing his total to three goal involvements in six appearances.
The win moves Manuel Pellegrini’s side to third in the league standings, trailing Real Madrid on goal difference and sitting two points ahead of Atlético Madrid. Parrott’s recent form is expected to influence his role in the upcoming international Nations League window with Ireland.
