With a goal from Mbappé, the Merengue team achieved an important victory that brought them back to the top of the La Liga, overtaking their rivals Barcelona
Real Madrid regained the lead of the Spanish championship by beating Getafe 1-0 away from home this Sunday (19th). The Merengue team was counting on a goal from top scorer Mbappé to reach the triumph.
The Merengues thus overtake Barcelona and take 24 points, two more than their rival. Getafe, in turn, occupies 12th place, with 11.
Next weekend, Real Madrid will play the classic against Barcelona, next Sunday (26). Getafe visits Athletic Bilbao in the Basque Country the day before.
With Vini Jr. on the bench, Rodrygo started on the left wing, with Mastantuono occupying the opposite lane in the offensive sector. The Merengues had some good moments in the first half, such as the two chances missed by Mbappé early on. Getafe were also threatening, as with Sancris’ shot near Courtois’ post. In fact, Alaba and Valverde almost gave Real the lead in the end.
After ten minutes Vini Jr. enters and changes the game. The Brazilian ignited the match and began to be hounded by Getafe players and booed by the fans. Thus, he “dug” two expulsions from his opponent. First with Nyom, in the 31st minute of the second half, and immediately after Sancris, in the 38th minute.
Between a red and a red from Getafe, Real Madrid opened the scoring with Mbappé, assisted by Arda Güler. Now the Frenchman has reached ten goals in the La Liga top scorer rankings.
After the goal, Real Madrid controlled the match and took advantage of their numerical superiority to secure another three points.
