Satriano volley stuns Real Madrid as Getafe shake up LaLiga title race

Agency :

Martin Satriano’s superb first-half volley earned Getafe a shock 1-0 victory at Real Madrid in LaLiga on Monday, a result that left leaders Barcelona four points clear at the top of the standings.
Real dominated possession from kickoff and controlled the game but failed to turn pressure into goals, squandering several chances in an ill-tempered contest. Alvaro Arbeloa’s side were left exposed in the 39th minute when a half-cleared cross dropped invitingly on the edge of the box and Satriano struck a fierce volley into the top left corner.
Frustration boiled over in stoppage time when substitute Franco Mastantuono was shown a ?straight red card for dissent, while Adrian Liso was also sent off for the visitors.
Barcelona lead the standings on 64 points, with Real second on 60. Getafe are 11th with 32 points. With Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Eder Militao sidelined by injury, Real Manager Arbeloa rotated heavily and handed 18-year-old midfielder Thiago Pitarch his first senior start.
Getafe set the tone early, disrupting Real’s rhythm with a stream of tactical fouls.
However, Real managed to carve out openings and Vinicius Jr should have put them ahead in the 13th minute when he raced clear on the counter-attack, only for goalkeeper David Soria ?to block his close-range effort with a sharp right-footed save. Soria excelled again in the 24th minute, producing a one-handed stop to deny Arda Guler after the Turkish midfielder weaved past three defenders on a dazzling run into the box.
