Satriano stunner beats Real Madrid
Real Madrid failed to make up ground on Barcelona in LaLiga as Martin Satriano's wondergoal condemned them to a 1-0 defeat to Getafe, with both teams finishing with 10 men.
Missing several injured players including Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham, Alvaro Arbeloa's men suffered their second straight league defeat, with Franco Mastantuono sent off for dissent and Adrian Liso following for timewasting shortly before full-time.
Visiting goalkeeper David Soria was busy in the first 25 minutes, denying Vinicius Junior with his feet and blocking Arda Guler's angled drive, though Madrid may have been fortunate to keep 11 men on the pitch when Antonio Rudiger unnecessarily lowered his knee into the head of Diego Rico.
And Getafe went ahead against the run of play six minutes before half-time, as Satriano's sweetly struck volley from the edge of the area whistled past Thibaut Courtois and into the top-right corner.
Madrid continued to dominate possession in the second half, but they were whistled by their fans as they failed to penetrate until they missed a glaring chance in the 75th minute.
Rudiger got across Soria to meet Mastantuono's corner, but the German's header flew wide of the gaping goal, with fellow centre-back Dean Huijsen also unable to get a touch near the left-hand post.
Soon afterwards, another Mastantuono cross found Rodrygo, but his diving header bounced back across goal and wide, with Dani Carvajal unable to slide it home.
Things got even worse for Madrid when referee Alejandro Muniz Ruiz showed Mastantuono a straight red card for dissent in the 95th minute, with Getafe's Liso then getting a second yellow card for kicking the ball away right before the final whistle.
