Real Madrid suffered the third setback of the 2012/13 Spanish top flight season against Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, following a 1-1 draw against Valencia at home and a 3-2 defeat in Spanish Super Cup at the Camp Nou.
Real Madrid fell in Getafe as they failed to learn from their old mistakes. After losing two important points on the first day against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863, they gave a similar performance at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez. They took an early lead but lost the impetus to
their rivals from a dead ball situation and the counter attack.
The recently resumed footballing hostilities in the Iberian Peninsula has yet to witness the White outfit tasting victory in a competitive match, with Madridista seeing the club with a five points disadvantage in La Liga title race with just two rounds of
fixtures.
Against an opponent who were outmatched and outmuscled during the first half hour, Real Madrid managed them a route to victory. The Santiago Bernabeu based outfit created chances but suffered at the prolificacy of the forwards, who failed to make the most
of the chances that fell in their way.
The best move of the match was manufactured between http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-c9622 and Mesut Ozil, a combination that saw the German in sixth gear but ended with him sending the ball against the woodwork from close range.
The missed opportunity not seem to matter much as Real Madrid got ahead with Gonzalo Higuain on song. El Pipita got on the end of an Angel Di Maria ball, hitting the back of the net with pressure from Getafe defenders. Alexis aborted his first attempt but
the second one saw the Argentine put it away.
As the match approached the half hour mark, Madrid looked to ease off in the fixture preferring to cruise control rather than putting the tie to rest. Lassana Diarra’s presence helped in maintaining the intensity of the fixture, with the match proceeding
just like the French midfield destroyers career at the Bernabeu, in burst and stops.
Real Madrid were made to pay for their lacklustre display after the interval as Getafe equalized from a set piece. Valera rose highest to make a connection from the set piece on the right flank, the ball easing into the net with an overstretched http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815
helpless on the ground.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adrián-Colunga-c3712 made matters worse for Madrid with 74 minutes on the clock, the Spanish forward laid down the ball for Abdelaziz Barrada, who lashed at the opportunity to give El Geta all three points on offer.
