Madrid's Suffocating Control Ends Getafe's Resistance in Red Card Chaos

Highly Entertaining Futmetrix Score: 69/100. Real Madrid's clinical dominance at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez—punctuated by two Getafe expulsions—reaffirmed the gulf between the league's elite and the strugglers fighting for survival.

White Siege Without Mercy

From kickoff, Real Madrid imposed suffocating intensity that left Getafe gasping for air. Controlling 76% of possession and unleashing 23 shots against Getafe's 7, the visitors orchestrated an attacking siege of relentless proportions. Jude Bellingham was the engine room maestro, threading 3 key passes that carved open the azure defense repeatedly. His midfield orchestration was the blueprint for Madrid's dominance.

Soria's Heroic Last Stand

David Soria emerged as Getafe's sole barrier against obliteration. The goalkeeper produced 9 stunning saves, repelling a barrage of 10 shots on target. Without his heroics, this would have been a rout—instead, it was a masterclass in defensive resilience against overwhelming odds.

The Final Act Unravels

Getafe's afternoon collapsed spectacularly in the final stretch. Allan Nyom saw red in the 77th minute for violent conduct, fracturing the defense's resolve. Three minutes later, Kylian Mbappé struck the decisive blow (80'), assisted by substitute A. Guler, who'd entered in the 65th to inject fresh attacking impetus. The final indignity came at 84' when Álex Sancris was also sent off, leaving Getafe with nine men and their dignity in tatters.

The Stakes Clarified

This victory cements Madrid's position atop La Liga with 24 points from 9 games, while Getafe languishes in 12th with 11 points—a chasm of 13 points that tells the story of two different seasons. For the hosts, this defeat deepens the crisis: just 3 wins in 9 matches leaves them mired in the lower reaches.
