Late Drama Ensures Real Madrid’s Perfect Start Continues Against Getafe

Real Madrid maintained their flawless start to the season, but they had to endure last-minute drama to secure victory over Getafe, with a final score of 2-1.

Carlo Ancelotti made two changes to the lineup that triumphed over Celta Vigo the previous weekend. Luka Modric took the place of Federico Valverde, while Joselu Mato replaced the injured Vinicius Junior.

Getafe got off to a dream start against their city rivals. Borja Mayoral capitalized on a wayward pass from Fran Garcia, rounding Kepa Arrizabalaga and slotting the ball into the empty net against his former team.

Real Madrid thought they had earned a penalty shortly after, with Carles Alena deemed to have fouled Jude Bellingham. However, a VAR review overturned the decision, and Getafe held their ground for the remainder of the first half.

Nevertheless, Getafe’s lead was short-lived, as they conceded less than two minutes into the second half. Joselu found himself with the ball six yards from goal and coolly slotted it past David Soria, leveling the score at 1-1. This marked Joselu’s first goal for Real Madrid in his second spell with the club.

As the match seemed destined for a draw, Jude Bellingham came to the rescue with a goal in the fifth minute of added time, securing the victory for Real Madrid. The result preserves their impressive 100% record this season, while Bellingham continues his remarkable streak of scoring in every match so far.
