Mbappe shined in the audience, Real Madrid defeated Getafe to regain the top spot

In the 9th round of La Liga that ended in the early morning of October 20, Real Madrid defeated Getafe 1-0 in an away game. With this key victory, the Galacticos surpassed Barcelona again in the standings and returned to the top spot.

In this game, Mbappe once again became the biggest contributor to the team's victory. Although Real Madrid's overall strength was superior, they encountered a stubborn resistance in the first half. Mbappe's performance was particularly eye-catching, threatening the opponent's goal many times. His and Rodrygo's shots were saved by Getafe goalkeeper David Soria. The home team did not have no chance. Alex Sankris once hit a powerful volley, but the ball missed the post and almost scored.

After changing sides and fighting again, coach Alonso made adjustments and Vinicius came on as a substitute in an attempt to strengthen the offense. However, the two sides fought fiercely in the midfield and the game reached a deadlock. Real Madrid was unable to break the deadlock.

The turning point came in the 77th minute of the game. Getafe defender Alan Nion had a violent collision with Vinicius during a defense and was directly sent off by the referee with a red card. The visiting team thus gained a numerical advantage. Just less than 3 minutes later, Real Madrid seized the opportunity to break the deadlock: Arda Guler sent a precise pass, Mbappe calmly turned around and hit a precise shot straight into the far corner of the goal, helping the team take a 1-0 lead.

This goal also allowed Mbappe to continue his hot state - this is his 11th consecutive game in which he has scored. According to Opta statistics, Mbappe became the first player to score at least 10 goals in the first 9 rounds of the La Liga season since Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2014/15 season.

At the end of the game, Getafe suffered another blow. Player Alex was sent off for accumulating two yellow cards, completely losing hope of a comeback. Real Madrid maintained their advantage in the final stage and maintained the 1-0 score until the final whistle.

With this hard-won victory, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona with a 2-point advantage in the league and returned to the top of the standings. This is also the eighth consecutive time that Real Madrid has defeated Getafe in all competitions, showing its absolute dominance.
