Real Madrid soon put pressure on Getafe's goal when goalkeeper David Soria had to show off his ability to block a dangerous shot from Kylian Mbappe.
However, the home team quickly regained control of the game, organized a tight defense and effectively blocked the "White Vultures" attack. Therefore, Real Madrid could not create many clear opportunities for most of the first half.
At the end of the first half, Real Madrid gradually regained the pace of the game, but goalkeeper David Soria continued to play excellently when blocking David Alaba's dangerous free kick. Then, Federico Valverde's rebound shot went just wide of the post.
Entering the second half, the match witnessed a major turning point when Vinicius was put on the field and immediately made an impact. Just a minute after he came on, Getafe defender Allan Nyom beat the Brazilian and was sent off.
Taking advantage of the advantage of being one more players, Real Madrid quickly opened the score. Arda Guler launched a delicate pass for Mbappe to break the offside trap, rotate and cross-angle shots to defeat Soria, putting the away team ahead.
Not stopping there, Getafe continued to put themselves in a difficult position when Alex Sancris received a second yellow card and had to leave the field, leaving the home team with only 9 players. Despite playing with one more player, Real Madrid still had to rely on Thibaut Courtois' excellent save in extra time to preserve the victory.
With these 3 valuable points, Real Madrid returned to the top of La Liga, temporarily 2 points ahead of Barcelona in the El Clasico.
