Madrid humbled by Cadiz in shock defeat
Real Madrid suffered its first LaLiga defeat of the season as it went down 1-0 in dismal fashion at home to minnow Cadiz on Sunday (AEDT).
Promoted Cadiz set about disrupting the defending champion from the outset and took a deserved lead through Anthony Lozano's 16th-minute effort.
Thibaut Courtois denied Lozano a second before half-time, when Zinedine Zidane made four substitutions with an injured Sergio Ramos among the players to make way.
Luka Jovic had a goal ruled out and Karim Benzema hit the crossbar, yet Madrid's sluggish play was not enough to overcome Cadiz's stubborn rearguard and maintain its winning run, as the Andalusian side held on for a famous triumph.
