– MADRID
Three points worth the lead and some concern for Rudiger’s knee. In the last stoppage time that was missing to align the La Liga standings, a good Madrid won 2-0 at Getafe with a brace from Joselu and moved up to +2 on Girona. For Getafe the posts of Greenwood (at 0-1) and Mayoral (0-2), for Carlo now two very delicate commitments at home: this Sunday Atletico, next Sunday Girona. La Liga is reaching boiling point.
always in the head

A minimum of turnover for Ancelotti: Carvajal, Kroos and Rodrygo out, Lucas Vazquez, Modric and Joselu in. Getafe hyper defensive with the Togolese Djené advanced to act as a barrier in mid-field. The ball goes to Madrid and after a good save by David Soria on Vinicius in the 14th minute the lead came: a brilliant cross by Lucas Vazquez, indecision by David Soria and a winning header by Joselu, who jumped better than Domingos Duarte. For Madrid 11 headed goals in this Liga, only Getafe have scored more, 12. After another opportunity for Joselu, the negative news for Carlo: in a clash with Greenwood Rudiger hurt his right knee and is somehow arrived at the break, when he was replaced by Camavinga, with Tchouameni dropped back to play central with Nacho. Carlo held his breath given that he already has Alaba and Militao out with torn cruciate ligaments, but Rudiger’s appears to be just a knock.
substitutions, post and doubling

In the break Bordalas changed system and 3 men: Diego Rico, Latasa and Jordi Martin for Djené, Domingos Duarte and Carmona. Getafe more proactive and in the 52nd minute a great left-footed shot from Greenwood, moving from the left wing to the right, ended his run on the post with Lunin beaten. And a moment later Vinicius served Joselu who controlled with his right foot and with his crossed left foot he beat David Soria for the seventh goal in this Liga. Joselu then gave a goal to Vinicius but the Brazilian threw it away, having his shot saved by David Soria, repeating himself shortly after following a pass from Bellingham and another one-on-one with the opposing goalkeeper. In the 74th minute it was Lunin who performed a miracle by deflecting a great shot from Borja Mayoral onto the post, a rebound for Milla who shot very badly. In the 90th minute Brahim Diaz was denied a penalty due to a foul by Gaston, with Ancelotti protesting at the end of the match and being booked by De Burgos Bengoetchea.
