In a thrilling match at the refurbished Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Jude Bellingham emerged as Real Madrid’s hero, securing a 2-1 win against Getafe with a dramatic 95th-minute winner.

Getafe’s former Real Madrid academy graduate, Borja Mayoral, stunned the crowd with an early goal, capitalizing on a defensive error. Mayoral rounded the goalkeeper to put Getafe ahead, marking the first open-play goal by an opponent at the Bernabeu since 2015.

Facing Getafe’s solid defensive tactics, Real Madrid had to work tirelessly to break through. Bellingham, in particular, was a target of heavy marking and fouls throughout the game.

Toni Kroos played a pivotal role in orchestrating the attack, but Getafe’s goalkeeper, David Soria, was exceptional in keeping the visitors in contention.

As the match reached its conclusion, Lucas Vazquez’s late shot was spilled by Soria, presenting Bellingham with the opportunity to secure victory. The English midfielder calmly slotted the ball into the net, securing his fifth goal in four games for Real Madrid.

Bellingham, who had eagerly anticipated his first appearance at the Bernabeu, once again proved to be Real Madrid’s savior with another match-winning contribution.
