It’s match day six in Spanish LaLiga and fans of the Catalans were hopeful their team was going to cruise through once more, but their unbeaten run came to a conclusion on Saturday 17 October, 2020. Getafe pipped Barca by 1-0 after 90 minutes of exciting football.
The match which fell off at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez stadium was a new record made by Getafe, as this is the first run through since 2011 Getafe have beaten Barcelona, and are certainly justified regardless of the success.
With leaders Real Madrid enduring a stunning home defeat to Cádiz, three points for Barça would have seen Ronald Koeman’s men jump Los Blancos on goal difference, seven days ahead of the main Clásico of the period.
Barcelona was hoping to dominate this match to launch them to the top, but Getafe’s Jaime Mata’s 56th-minute punishment ended the ‘speed’ of the Catalans.
Getafe’s Cucho Hernández twice had significant chances to twofold the hosts’ lead late on, but sent one against the crossbar – by means of a touch by Neto – before shooting over when clean through on the Barça goalkeeper.
On the other hand, Barça attempted to create clear cut opportunities and – a Djené close own goal aside – once in a while truly took steps to recoup from Mata’s opener.
