La Liga, Getafe 1-0 Real Madrid: List of records broken
Enes Unal scored the only goal of the match as Getafe recorded an upset over Real Madrid in La Liga. Isco had the chance to score an equalizer in stoppage time when he headed Luka Modric's free-kick from the right. But David Soria read the danger and knocked it down. With this, Getafe have ended Real's 15-match unbeaten streak. Here are further details.
Why does it matter?
Real went to Getafe after winning 11 of their 12 games in all competitions. However, they were forced to return empty-handed due to an error by Eder Militao. With this defeat, Real have also given Sevilla a chance to close the gap. Sevilla have two games in hand. This is Real's first away defeat in La Liga in six games.
How did the match pan out?
Enes Unal broke the deadlock within ten minutes into the game. He capitalized on the weak defending by Real and took advantage of Eder Militao's momentary hesitation. Real had a series of half-chances with Luka Modric hitting the crossbar, Toni Kroos going wide, and Karim Benzema setting up Ferland Mendy but they failed to purchase something.
