    Time:90'
    • Real Madrid
    • Getafe C.F
    • - THAT IS IT!! What a game. Madrid keep their title hunt alive as the gap at the top of the league is down to three points - for 24 hours at least. Great comeback by Madrid, but Casquero should have won it for Getafe but his awful penalty cost his side.
    • 91' 3-2 MADRID HAVE WON IT!!! What a strike from Higuain. A thunderbolt from the Argentinean striker to grab all three points for Real Madrid
    • 86' RUBBISH PENALTY BY CASQUERO!!! Really, really bad penalty by Casquero, he chipped the ball into the hands of Casillas. The striker could have cost Getafe the points.
    • 85' MADNESS BY PEPE!!! Pepe sees red for pushing Casquero in the box and then kicks him in the back and gives away a penalty just as Madrid looked to be back in the game.
    • 84' REAL MADRID ARE BACK IN IT!!!! WHAT A great free kick from Guti to make it 2-2. Brilliant free kick from the midfielder.
    • 83' GOAL!! GOAL!! GOAL!! Getafe could have ended Madrid's title hopes with a great goal from Albín. Left footed strike from the edge of the box gives Casillas no chance1
    • 80' Higuain goes down in the area under the challenge of Diaz but the Madrid forward is booked for diving. Stojkovic then booked for time wasting.
    • 79' OFF THE LINE!! Ramos shot is cleared off the line. Getafe are hanging on.
    • 78' Goalscorer Soldado is replaced by Ikechuwku Uche
    • 72' SOLDADO HEADS OVER!!! Getafe could have re-taken the lead but Solddo heads over with the goal at his mercy
    • 71' WHAT A CHANCE FOR MADRID!!! Guti plays a brilliant ball through to Huntelaar who tries to take the ball round Stojkovic, but the Getafe keeper gets a vital hand on it to deny Madrid.
    • 70' Rafa booked for Getafe!! The Sixth booking of the game.
    • 66' Drenthe goes flying in on Granero and becomes the fourth Madrid player to be booked.
    • 65' Robben last just 17 minutes as he picks up an muscle injury and is replaced by Ricky Denthe
    • 62' Soldado finds Juan Angle Albín completely unmarked but an awful first touch and the Getafe man fluffs a golden chance to re-take the lead.
    • 60' Javi García comes on to replace Cannavaro for Real
    • 56' PEPE BOOKED!! Another Madrid player finds his way into the referees book
    • 53' Ball breaks to Higuain and he runs at pace at the Getafe defenders but loses control at the vital moment. But Madrid are a completely different side in this second half and look like a side who have won their last five games.
    • 48' Driving run forward by substitute Robben, plays the ball out wide to the goalscorer Higuain who whips in a cross which finds Raul. But his overhead kick is blocked and cleared. MUCH BETTER FROM MADRID!!!
    • 47' Madrid look as though they mean business in this second half. The host are taking the game to their neighbours and Marcelo fires a shot wide.
    • 46' Real Madrid get the second half under way. Madrid have made a change van der Vaart is replaced by Arjen Robben to give Madrid some added pace.
    • 45' The referee blows for half time and Madrid have a lifeline. Getafe had been the better side in the first half but the scores are level at the break
    • 45' GOAL FOR REAL MADRID!!! Life line for Madrid as Gonzalo Higuain bundles the ball home to give Real a life line. Gago's powerful header was flicked on by Raul on the edge of the box and Higuain had the strength to slot the ball home from a tight angle.
    • 41' ANOTHER BOOKING FOR MADRID!! van der Vaart goes into the referees book for hacking down Esteban Granero as he looked to break down the right for Getafe.
    • 36' Getafe keeper Vladimir Stojkovic has had very little to do in the first half. Real Madrid have not played well in this first half and need to improve if they are to keep their title dreams alive.
    • 34' Soldado goes down holding his head after a high foot from Cannavaro catches the Getafe forward in the head.
    • 30' FIRST CHANCE FOR MADRID! Rafael van der Vaart's cross is headed into the path of Huntelaar by Raul, but the Dutch striker fires wide.
    • 28' FERNANDO GAGO BOOKED!!! The defensive midfielder booked for hacking down Manu.
    • 25' Guti tries to find Huntelaar with a long ball over the top of the defenders but the Getafe defenders clear with ease.
    • 22' CHANCE FOR SOLDADO!!! Gavilan plays a perfectly weighted pass into the path of Soldado - but the former Real Madrid striker fires the ball into the side netting. But Getafe are opening Real up at ease.
    • 19' Great attacking football from Getafe. Slick passing move sees Manu break down the left and loses his footing at the vital moment - but Madrid have not got into the game yet.
    • 15' Jaime Gavilan breaks from the half way line into acres of space and crosses for Soldado, but Fabio Cannavaro is just able to get a head on the ball to clear to safety. But all the best chances are going to the visitors.
    • 10' GOAL FOR GETAFE!!! It had been coming. Cross from the right finds Soldado unmarked in the centre of the goal and heads past Iker Casillas to give Geatfe a deserved lead.
    • 8' Good ball by Sergio Ramos on the right, but his cross is too high for Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
    • 4' CHANCE FOR GETAFE!!! Manu broke down the left wing and beat Pepe and crossed for Roberto Soldado who fires over from just outside the six yard box. A warning for Madrid.
    • 1' We are underway at the Bernabeu. Juande Ramos' side need maximum points to keep the pressure on top of the table Barcelona and keep their dreams of retaining the title.
    • - Getafe have won just two of their last five games while Real Madrid have maximum points from their last five games and have conceded just two goals in that time.
    • - Welcome to this evenings La Liga game between Real Madrid and Getafe. Madrid have the chance to cut the gap at the top of the league to three points with a win as Barcelona play Sevilla on Wednesday.

So how­ about that looser, so don't go talk about history,­ talk about the present.

    From Bob, on Tue 21 Apr 10:41PM

  19. I'm a Madrid fan and Pepe needs to be banned for­ the rest of the season. Partner Ramos with Fabio in the­ center and play Torres/Salgado on the flanks. What a­ disgrace. Whining like some 10 year old that lost a­ game.

    BTW, the Liverpool game? I guess that's the­ best way to bring us down eh? Defending champions!­ Biggest team in the world! Woot Woot, you'd love to­ be in our position.
