Parrott marks Champions League debut with goal for Betis

  • On Tuesday, Republic of Ireland striker Troy Parrott marked his Champions League debut with a goal as Real Betis earned a 3-2 away victory against ten-man Lille at Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
  • Ayasa Ueda opened the scoring with a 12th-minute strike, but Marc Bartra equalized at 33 minutes and again at 49 minutes before Parrott capitalized on poor defending by Nathan Ngoy to put Betis ahead.
  • Manager Manuel Pellegrini praised the 24-year-old's confidence, noting that despite an earlier mistake against Levante, Parrott showed the "instinct to score" in his recent winner against Real Madrid.
  • A red card for Ethan Mbappé compounded Lille's difficulties as Parrott threatened a late brace, hitting the woodwork with a curling effort before Betis held on for the win.
  • Real Betis will host Portuguese side Porto on October 14 in their next Champions League match, following Porto's 2-0 defeat to Manchester City on Tuesday.
