Real Madrid could not afford a failure with Getfeeif he still wanted to think about the fight for the Spanish championship. At the same time, the “Królewski” wanted to win this with the least effort to be in the best disposal for the Saturday final of the King's Cup. However, Getafe set difficult conditions.
One goal decided to win Real
The beginning of the match was a surprisingly big problems of Real. Getafe played high pressure and eagerly attacked the Madrid goal. However, they lacked effectiveness, or he probably looked in the Thibaut Courtois goal. The hosts put a lot of strength in the first quarter of this match. Then they gave the ball to Real, who willingly rubbed and attacked.
“Królewscy” after a few minutes of calming down the game could say that they have control over match. They marked their superiority in the 21st minute, taking the lead. Arda Guler entered the list of shooters. The young Turek hit the wrong ball by defending Getafe and probably hit from behind the penalty area. David Soria had a lot of grudge against him. The ball broke his hands, although he could defend it.
Getafe then pulled Real into a chaotic, jerking and restless game. It was difficult to build action smoothly. Only in the end Brahim Diaz had a good situation, but Soria stretched his shot heading under the bar.
In the second half, the image of the game did not change too much. Getafe boldly contributed, played aggressively in pressing, i.e. in its own style. The hosts caused Real trouble, the defensive had a lot of work with cutting perpendicular passes and killing the cross. Courtois also had to throw himself for the ball several times, but he was insurmountable today. He probably defended everything, caught and knocked down.

Real himself could correspond to counterattacks, dynamic actions, response in transitional phases. They fueled regularly Vinicius Junioruntil Rodrygo changed him. The second of the Brazilians tried to be Real's driving force in the last quarter of an hour. He had the support of Gulera and Eduardo Camaving. But everyone lacked a good finish.
However, Getafe had a stronger tip, which was a surprise. It played in a positional attack, in which it did not feel too comfortable, but did not give up. Each thrown ball caused that in Real's penalty area it was getting hot. But Courtois could show off in such situations.
Ultimately, Real won 1: 0, completed the plan at least before the Copa del Rey final. In the table of La Ligi he kept a loss of four points to FC BarcelonaSo the Spanish championship matter is still open.
