"Despite dominating possession, Madrid lacked a cutting edge and failed to properly test David Soria until the final ten minutes of the contest after two quickfire red cards. Allan Nyom and Alex Sancris were both sent off within seven minutes of each other, with the former dismissed just 44 seconds after coming on for an aggressive off-ball arm check on Vinicius Junior in the 76th minute."
"And Madrid made their man advantage count just three minutes later when Mbappe calmly controlled Arda Guler's throughball before turning and firing past Soria. Getafe's collapse continued as Sancris was handed a second yellow card in the 84th minute for a reckless lunge in on Vinicius, putting the result beyond Jose Bordalas' side. Madrid almost added a second in stoppage time when Vinicius scooped a clever pass over the top for Alvaro Carreras, who flashed his shot narrowly wide."
Real Madrid reclaimed top spot in LaLiga with a 1-0 win over nine-man Getafe thanks to Kylian Mbappe's late goal. Xabi Alonso's side faced pressure after Barcelona briefly moved ahead following Ronald Araujo's stoppage-time winner. Madrid dominated possession but produced a sluggish display and scarcely troubled David Soria until the final ten minutes. Allan Nyom received a red card 44 seconds after coming on for an off-ball arm check on Vinicius Junior, and Alex Sancris was later sent off for a reckless lunge. Mbappe controlled Arda Guler's throughball and finished, earning Madrid a narrow victory and a two-point lead.
