    Thanks for following the match with us! (20:53:55)
     
    The second half was far more entertaining than the first one with several big opportunities on both sides but in the end it was a fair 0-0. Atlético even were a bit lucky in the end with two red cards to keep their goal clean.
     
    Game over.
     
    90+3
    The following free kick from the right half field was headed over the crossbar.
     
    90+2
    Godín (Atlético) with an extremly stupid foul. Hits Álvaro with his elbow in the face and is sent off but this was rather a direct red card!
     
    90
    Three minutes are added to the game.
     
    89
    Paco Alcácer with a lot of space but misses the guest net by at least a dozen metres...
     
    88
    Valera (Getafe) gets a yellow card subsequently for a foul in the midfield.
     
    87
    Valera with a long cross from the right wing towards the left side of the guest area but Lafita hits the ball bad and it doesn't even leave the pitch.
     
    85
    Álvaro is new in the match for Colunga for the last five minutes. Last possible change for Getafe.
     
    84
    Falcao gets the ball past Fernández who then blocks it. Falcao goes down far too easy what earns him an angry reaction by the home fans.
     
    83
    The hosts play it with a lot of pressure now and leave Atlético little rom to breathe. A distance shot by Borja towards the left bottom corner is blocked to the side by Courtois!
     
    82
    Volley shot by Lafita from the second row, goes wide.
     
    81
    Juanfran goes down inside the Getafe area but no penalty shot signals the referee.
     
    80
    Huge mistake by Borja who lost the ball inside his own half but lucky for him Falcao lost the following duel.
     
    79
    Diego Castro with a shot from the second row that goes wide.
     
    78
    Cristian Rodríguez with a nice dribbling through the whole Getafe half but his shot from the border of the 18-yard box went a metre past the right top corner!
     
    77
    Diego Costa leaves the pitch for Raúl García. Last possible change by Atlético.
     
    76
    Offensive foul by Diego Costa who pushes his opponent Alexis from behind.
     
    74
    And also the hosts make a change. Paco Alcácer substitutes Xavi Torres on the pitch.
     
    73
    The guests had already planned a change before the sending off against Mario Suárez. New on the pitch is Cristian Rodríguez for Adrián.
     
    72
    Mario Suárez (Atlético) sees his second yellow card for playing the ball with his right arm in the Getafe half. Very unnecessary...
     
    70
    Free kick by Barrada from 16 metres distance goes just inches wide past the right post! What a chance!
     
    69
    Godín (Atlético) is booked for the foul against Colunga.
     
    69
    What a strange decision by the referee. Colunga was fouled by Godín clearly inside the area but referee Delgado Ferreiro only gives the hosts a free kick...!
     
    68
    Gabi (Atlético) is booked for a hard entry from the side in the midfield.
     
    67

    60
    Long ball by the guests towards the left wing, too long for Filipe Luis.
     
    58
    Lots of fouls in the midfield, this time against Gabi.
     
    57
    After a good start it looks like also the second half would calm down soon.
     
    55
    Diego Costa with a long run on the right wing but he is stopped by the defender who even wins a goal kick for his team. Diego Costa seems to get frustrated already.
     
    53
    Mario Suárez (Atlético) gets a yellow card for using his ellbow against his opponent and hitting his head.
     
    52
    Falcao with a header inside the Getafe area but he stood in an offside position and Godín commited a foul aswell.
     
    51
    Heavy push from behind against Falcao inside the Getafe area. A lot of referees would have awarded him with a penalty shot but Delgado Ferreiro lets the play continue.

    46
    Start of 2nd half.
     
    In a rather disappointing first half with few action in front of the goals, the result is a just 0-0 after 45 minutes. Falcao had the best chance so far but missed the wide open net in the 7th minute.
     
    1st halftime finished.
     
    45+2
    A last attack by the home side in this first half but they lose the ball on the left wing.

    35
    Harmless cross by the guests from the right wing, Getafe make a long clearance.
     
    33
    The match really has calmed down recently. The fans are losing patience a bit.
     
    31
    Diego Costa with the attempt of a kick against Getafe goalkeeper Codina when he already had the ball in his hands. The home fans are very angry!
     
    29
    Free kick from the right wing for the hosts, goes wide past everyone.
     
    27
    Diego Costa with his foot up, fouls Fernández on the right wing. Very unnecessary entry by the Brazilian striker but he should be lucky to not have been booked.

    Getafe CF are 8th in Primera División with 43 points in 29 games. They are just three points behind the European spots and only five points behind the Champions League qualification spot. Today's opponents Atlético Madrid are 3rd in the league with 61 points and should qualify for the Champions League relatively easily with their 13-point advantage to the 4th spot. There big goal though it is to end the season ahead of their big city neighbours and archrivals Real Madrid who have one point more.

    After a high loss on the road against the big FC Barcelona the underdogs from Getafe had a very successful unbeaten streak against Celta de Vigo (3-1), RCD Mallorca (3-1), Real Zaragoza (2-0), Levante UD (0-0), Athletic Bilbao (1-0) and Real Betis (0-0). For Atlético the last weeks were rather disappointing with only four points in four games, including a 1-1 at home against Valencia CF in the last match.

    The head-to-head record of the two teams is in favour of Atlético who also won the last two matches against Getafe but haven't won in Getafe since 2008! If Getafe can surprise them, we'll see soon!
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 18:00 GMT / 19:00 CET.
