Real Madrid vs Getafe finished 1-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu after Martin Satriano struck a spectacular volley just before half time, condemning the hosts to a defeat that left a loud, disapproving home crowd.
The home side dominated possession but lacked ideas against a low defensive block, and they could not find a finishing touch despite sustained pressure after the break.
Thibaut Courtois could do nothing to stop Satriano's shot, and Getafe keeper David Soria produced key saves to deny Vinicius Jr and Arda Guler, preserving the visitors' advantage.
Real Madrid enjoyed 77 percent possession and produced an expected goals total of 1.57 compared with Getafe's 0.49, and they registered 18 shots to Getafe's 9, as reported by FotMob.
Manager Álvaro Arbeloa made multiple changes early in the second half, replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold at 55 minutes, and later introduced Rodrygo and Dani Carvajal to try and break down the compact defence.
The match turned testy in stoppage time when Franco Mastantuono was sent off for dissent, and moments later Getafe's Adrián Liso received a second yellow and was dismissed, as reported by match coverage.
Ratings Reactions And Consequences
Player ratings highlighted mixed individual displays, with FotMob giving Antonio Rüdiger one of the higher marks for defensive work, while Trent Alexander-Arnold attracted criticism and was substituted.
Franco Mastantuono drew particular scrutiny after missing chances and receiving a red card, earning low marks in GOAL's assessment and from FotMob's substitute ratings.
Dean Huijsen returned to the pitch but picked up a yellow that will suspend him for the next league trip to Celta Vigo, and Rodrygo missed a clear chance late in the game, according to match reports.
The defeat leaves Real Madrid four points behind Barcelona in the La Liga table, with both teams reported to have played 26 matches, and raises further questions about the team’s ability to break down low blocks without Kylian Mbappé.
Kylian Mbappé remained absent with an injury to the external ligament of his left knee, an issue described in match reporting as ongoing since the end of 2025, and his absence was cited as a factor in the side’s lack of cutting edge.
