Mbappe Scores as Real Madrid Tops LaLiga with Win at Getafe

Real Madrid secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, reclaiming the top spot in LaLiga ahead of their upcoming El Clasico against Barcelona. The only goal came late in the match from Kylian Mbappe, who capitalized on a chaotic period where Getafe was reduced to nine men after two red cards in quick succession, including a straight red for Allan Nyom for a reckless foul on Vinicius Junior. Mbappe, returning from an ankle injury, extended his impressive scoring streak to 10 league goals in nine games, further cementing his status as Real's key attacking threat. Despite dominating possession, Real Madrid struggled to break down a resilient Getafe defense, which frustrated Los Blancos until the hosts' discipline collapsed late in the game. Xabi Alonso strategically introduced Vinicius Junior and Arda Guler in the second half, with Vinicius drawing crucial fouls that led to Getafe's red cards and helping to shift momentum in Madrid's favor. This result marks Real Madrid's eighth consecutive win over Getafe and strengthens their position at the top of the league standings.
