  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Getafe
    • Real Madrid
    • - Getafe shoot up to ninth in the table while Real remain second, three points behind Barca.
    • - Real Madrid will re-examine their internal workings as always after a comprehensive defeat... congratulations to Getafe. Over to Sevilla, who entertain Liga leaders Barcelona at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan from 21:00 UK time!!
    • 90+4' The four minutes of added time are over - Getafe have the win!!
    • 90' Uche throws himself headlong into a diving header - but directs it wide!! Great chance, should have been four.
    • 88' Getafe counter after clearing the ball and Uche is through... Pepe is back to pressure him, but he should score... he pulls it wide!! Poor effort.
    • 88' Drenthe with space on the left, blocked at the near post... corner kick. However Los Merengues are running out of time...
    • 85' Real Madrid with a chance at the other end, but it is looking bad for them tonight. Diaz booked for dissent.
    • 82' GETAFE MAKE IT 3-1!!! Albin raced through on the right and could have shot, but opted to cut the ball across to Uche... and the Nigerian finished inside the near post!!
    • 79' Gavilan sends a low ball towards the near post; Casillas looks unconfident and does not deal with it - the ball coming off the near post before being scrambled to safety!!
    • 78' Guti is booked for a late challenge on Uche near the corner flag.
    • 77' Drenthe rampaging down the left, crossing for Raul.. Pato makes the save!!
    • 76' Salgado handles in the box but the referee does not see it. Real have gotten away with some Getafe penalty shouts this evening...
    • 75' Getafe attack down the left, the cross just ahead of the sliding Granero. Getafe throwing everything at Real even though they are winning!
    • 73' Getafe change: Polanski replaced by Fabio Celestini.
    • 70' Ramos booked for clattering into Granero as he surged over halfway. The illustrious away side still on the back foot.
    • 68' Real Madrid all at sea. A nice little piece of play involving Uche and Cortez ended with Ramos waiting for Casillas to come and claim, but he stayed where he was... and the defender eventually smacked the ball out of play facing his own goal.
    • 67' Albin has a chance to play in Uche as he sprints through, square to him... the ball is cut out. Last-ditch stuff.
    • 65' Ramos with a shocking attempt at heading away, missing the ball with his bandaged head - he hurt it in the Champions League in midweek - and it came off his upper arm, or perhaps shoulder... a potential penalty, perhaps? A corner is given.
    • 64' Van der Vaart booked for a foul in midfield. It is all Getafe at the moment, but Real are surviving...
    • 63' GETAFE STRIKE THE POST!! Polanski shot as it came out of the box, but it was not cleanly hit - despite the bounces it came off the inside of the post and Casillas almost diverted it into his own net with his foot!!
    • 61' Getafe change: Uche on for Soldado, like for like up front.
    • 58' Getafe change: the injured Contra is replaced by David Cortez.
    • 57' Soldado bends a ball through for Albin... CAN HE SCORE A HAT-TRICK... his first touch is too heavy and Casillas just gets there first!! He doesn't deal with it that well, but at least the ball stayed out of the net...
    • 56' Drenthe crosses from the left as Real press, Raul just missing the ball as he slides in between defence and attack!!
    • 55' SAVIOLA SCORES FOR REAL MADRID!!! Guti turned out of a challenge and played in 'El Conejo' - The Rabbit - and he took it in his stride before firing into the top corner with the outside of his foot. Great finish.
    • 54' A decent effort from Real wide man Drenthe, who met a Raul cross from the left and fired it first time wide of the near post. It would have been a physics-defying goal, had he sneaked it in.
    • 52' A win here would shoot Getafe up five places to ninth. Of course everyone else is yet to play their 13th game of the season... an easy enough save for pato from Raul.
    • 50' Getafe go close again!! Soldado attacking down the right and dinks a lovely ball over for Casquero to attack, which causes all sorts of problems for Casillas. The Spain hero manages to beat it away eventually...
    • 48' A SECOND GOAL FOR GETAFE!!! Gago does not deal with a through pass as he slides across in midfield and Albin breaks into the box... he beats Casillas inside his near post about halfway up!! Poor goalkeeping, great finish.
    • 46' The second half begins.... Getafe kicking to our right.
    • 45+2' Half-time at the Coliseum, where Real Madrid are losing against Getafe. Not for the first time.
    • 45+2' Pepe booked in the second of the two added minutes at the end of the first half.
    • 45+1' Pepe with an important challenge as Getafe looked to attack over halfway on the right... Real counter but are crowded out.
    • 45' A well-worked throw-in from the left that Gavilan races on to and wins space before feeding Casqueo behind him... his shot is wayward and may also have hit the corner flag.
    • 44' Van der Vaart with the ball, unleashes a shot... more Van der Faart after that one, in my opinion. It may have hit the corner flag.
    • 43' Guti slips a ball through the eye of the neddle as always, but it is just too far ahead of Saviola.
    • 41' Albin booked for a foul on Ramos.
    • 40' Getafe, based in a satellite town south of Madrid and built up thanks to the aeronautics industry, could be two up - but Real have had more of the ball: 55 per cent possession for them.
    • 38' PENALTY SHOUT FOR GETAFE - TURNED DOWN AGAIN!! Soldado skipped through on the right inside the box and Ramos tried to get his toe on the ball, sliding back... however he did not get a touch and instead took out the striker. But nothing doing again.
    • 37' Salgado with a dangerous cross that is headed away by Getafe centre-half Mario... it drops to Gago whose volley IS JUST OVER!! Scare for the home side.
    • 36' Real are forced into another change: Torres off with a knock, replaced by Michel Salgado.
    • 33' If I had a symbol to describe that free-kick from Van der Vaart I would use it, but I haven't. A piece of rubbish cast aside on the street would do it, perhaps.
    • 32' A lovely touch from Guti begins a give-and-go with Fernando Gago. Eugen Polanski fouls the blondie though to nip the attack in the bud. Surprisingly no cards have been issued as yet...
    • 29' Madrid defender Marcelo executes a delightful Cruyff-esque turn to leave Cata Diaz floundering and fires a hard low shot just past the far post!! Great effort from the left-back, who was just inside the corner of the box when he struck it.
    • 28' A penalty shout for Getafe which was never going to be given. The play has dropped off, with some woeful long passes going astray. The opening period has been entertaining, however.
    • 26' Albin tries to play in Gavilan after earning space, but the ball is cut out. At the other end Saviola, who is playing for his future at the club, is looking to drop off occasionally and play that same role...
    • 24' The kick is just knocked away for a corner, which is subsequently cleared under the pressure of defender Sergio Ramos.
    • 23' Lucas Licht and Miguel Torres go for the same ball and the former's studs are embedded briefly into the latter's thigh. Ouch. Free-kick to Real...
    • 21' Clever play as Gavilan peels away down the left and is fed over the top... he is forced to cut back to Francisco Casquero after a poor first touch. His shot is hard but a few yards wide of the near post.
    • 20' Real with a couple of attacks from out wide which Getafe defend solidly, not for the first time tonight.
    • 18' Saviola with a shot from distance that his Argentine compatriot Pato holds comfortbaly.
    • 17' He is carried off pretty quickly on a stretcher, which does not bode well for the Netherlands star. Countryman Rafael van der Vaart replaces him in the holding/playmaker midfield role.
    • 16' Bad news for Sneijder as seconds later he slides back to challenge Soldado in midfield but hurts himself in the process.
    • 15' Drenthe runs free on the right and screws the ball back to RAUL.... HIS LOW SHOT IS BLOCKED BRILLIANTLY BY PATO!! Wesley Sneijder gets in the way as Saviola tries to find a second chance near the edge of the box...
    • 14' Albin attacks another cross but Casillas collects under pressure after a fortunate deflection.
    • 13' Getafe, who are 14th, are up for this one. A long diagonal ball is controlled by Real legend Raul but he is crowded out in the box and Pato gathers.
    • 11' Getafe right-back Cosmin Contra on the rampage, going past a couple of players before firing a shot just over! Guti's cross from that earlier free-kick was woeful, headed away at the near post.
    • 10' Granero penalised for a foul on Royston Drenthe. A good position to cross from wide on the left.
    • 8' Getafe causing all sorts of problems down the flanks, former Madrid striker Roberto Soldado almost on the end of a Granero cross.
    • 6' Javier Saviola receives the ball into his feet and turns quickly... a hard shot is turned past the near post by Getafe keeper Pato.
    • 5' PENALTY SHOUT FOR GETAFE!! Turned down by Perez Burrull. A floated free-kick saw Pepe back-pedalling and he headed up in the air; goalie Iker Casillas then seemed to haul back Esteban Granero as he went for the second ball. He made a lot of it though.
    • 4' Before that the only action consisted of a couple of niggly fouls in midfield. A massive blow for Real in the early minutes.
    • 3' GETAFE OPEN THE SCORING!!! Jaime Gavilan is played in towards the corner flag and his cross is whipped back to the edge of the six-yard box, where Juan Angel Albin arrived to thunder home a header. Lovely opener.
    • 1' The match begins, Real Madrid in all white of course kicking from left to right. Getafe in all blue.
    • - The Getafe line-up: Pato; Contra, Cata Diaz, Mario, Licht; Polanski, Casquero, Granero, Gavilan; Albin, Soldado. Manu del Moral, who scored at the Camp Nou last weekend to give Getafe a 1-1 draw with Barca - a lovely goal - is injured.
    • - The Madrid team tonight: Casillas; Torres, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo; Gago, Sneijder, Guti, Drenthe; Raul, Saviola. A rare start for 'El Conejo' up front, with Gonzalo Higuain out.
    • - A win for Real would put them level with Barca at the top of La Liga, unthinkable really given the relative form of the two teams. The capital side just keep picking up points.
    • - Coming up later we have Sevilla against Barcelona - that will be LIVE from 21:00 UK time.
    • - Getafe have had a good run of late against their mighty neighbours, especially here at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
