On Saturday, FC Barcelona did not play its league match with Osasuna Pampluna. Literally at the last minute a decision was made. The reason was the death of the club doctor Carles Minarro Garcia. In this situation, Atletico Madrid faced the chance to take the lead in the Laliga table. However, there was one condition. Diego Simeone's team had to beat Getafe away.
Atletico led 1: 0. An incredible what happened later. Barcelona is celebrating
The hosts in their own style decided to play very defensively. Therefore, not much happened in the first half. Atletico had a clear advantage in possession of the ball, but nothing was due to it. Guests for the entire 45 minutes did not shoot a single shot at the goal. Getafe developed the best situation just before the break. The head shot from a few meters after a free kick was fired by Christantus Uche, and hit directly in Jan Oblak. A completely colorless first half ended with a goalless draw.
Immediately after changing sides, there was some revival in the ranks of Atletico. Antoine Griezmann fired a strong shot from an acute angle, but not only that Soria defended, but the judge whistled burned. However, the Madrid attacks quickly ceased and the trainer decided to introduce Alexander Soerloth from the place of Julian Alvarez and Conor Gallager instead of Griezmann.
However, you had to wait until 70 minutes for a clear situation. Then Thomas Lemar sent a free kick. Le Normand jumped into the head, who confused the intervening Soria. The goalkeeper released the ball and she hit the hand of Omar Alderete, who then struck it from the goal line. The judge once again looked at the situation on the VAR monitor and dictated a penalty kick. The newly introduced Soerloth and 75th minute in cold blood went to the eleven.
The unbelievable end has determined. Two goals in four minutes and sensation became a fact
When it seemed that Atletico would take three points, an unexpected turn took place at the very end. Angel Correa received a red card for a sharp foul on Djen. A moment after the resumption of the game, one of the defenders sent a long pass into the penalty area. Oscar Duarte knocked the ball with his head, and Mauro Arambarri, who defeated the lying Oblak from a close distance, stood before the excellent opportunity. In the added time, Getafe surprised again. A powerful blow from a distance was sent by Diego Rico, and Ambarri added the leg. Uruguayan in the 92nd minute changed the flight of the ball and this was completely confused by the goalkeeper. In this way, Uruguayan scored a second goal and gave Getafe a sensational victory 2: 1.
The defeat of Atletico means that it will not overtake in the table Laliga FC Barcelona and will remain in second place. He has 56 points in her achievements, and the Catalans – 57. The third is Real Madrid with 54 points. Both Real and FC Barcelona played one match less. Carlo Ancelotti players will have a chance to overtake the local rival on Sunday. At 16:15 their match with Rayo Vallecano will start.
