"Atletico continued to turn the screw after the break with Pablo Barrios and Giacomo Raspadori seeing shots repelled by Soria, who made an impressive five saves in the match. But the Getafe goalkeeper could do nothing to prevent Duarte's unfortunate mistake, with the defender turning Raspadori's first-time cross from the left into the bottom-right corner. Mauro Arambarri came close to snatching a point for Getafe in second-half stoppage time, but his acrobatic effort from inside the penalty area clipped the top of the crossbar."
"Atleti roll on but are far from convincing Atletico appeared set to drop more points in on rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid in the race for the title, but a moment of fortune in a game lacking clear-cut chances got them over the line to keep touch at the summit. Indeed, Simeone's men registered an expected goals (xG) total of 1.13 from their 13 efforts, six of which were on target,"
Atletico Madrid edged Getafe 1-0 at the Estadio Coliseum after Domingos Duarte turned Giacomo Raspadori's cross into his own net eight minutes from time. Atletico began strongly with two quick Nico Gonzalez shots forcing David Soria into action, and Marcos Llorente left injured in the 14th minute, replaced by Antoine Griezmann. Griezmann's 43rd-minute effort was one of few first-half chances. After the break Pablo Barrios and Raspadori tested Soria, who made five saves. Mauro Arambarri nearly equalised in stoppage time when his acrobatic attempt hit the crossbar. Atletico produced an xG of 1.13 from 13 attempts.
