Real Madrid needs a victory against Getafe to climb back into the upper echelon of La Liga, and they are heading towards a win after scoring late at the Coliseum.
The evening has been quite frustrating for Los Blancos, who managed only a few half-chances throughout the match. However, the game shifted in the 78th minute when Allan Nyom received a red card for an off-the-ball incident involving Vinicius Junior. Moments later, Kylian Mbappe found the back of the net, securing the opening goal.
Kylian Mbappé breaks the deadlock! 👏
The French forward puts Real Madrid in the lead with a finish past David Soria ⚪

Mbappé has had a quiet night, possibly due to an ankle injury he suffered while playing for France during the international break, as reported here. He missed a couple of opportunities earlier in the match but capitalized perfectly this time, despite David Soria’s best efforts.
With a man advantage, Real Madrid will feel confident about maintaining their lead until the final whistle.
