Real Madrid faced off against Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez earlier today as they hoped to secure maximum points on the road. Los Blancos made a sloppy start to the game as they conceded the opening goal in the ninth minute when Enes Unal found the back of the net for the home team after capitalising on a mistake from Eder Militao. Carlo Ancelotti’s men dominated possession but failed to find the cutting edge in the final third as they went into the half-time break 1-0 down on the scoreline.
It was a similar story in the second half as the Madrid giants continued to go all out in search of the equaliser. However, Los Blancos couldn’t take any of their chances and ended up suffering a 1-0 defeat away from home.
Let’s take a look at how each Real Madrid player fared during the clash against Getafe.

RB: Lucas Vazquez – 7/10
Vazquez made two good runs with the ball and engineered a few decent chances for his teammates to score.
CB: Eder Militao – 5/10
Militao’s big mistake led to Getafe’s opening goal which ended up costing his team the result. However, he won multiple aerial duels and put in a solid display in the second half.
