Spanish La Liga News :: Getafe beat Real Madrid 3-1 in deserved derby win

Posted on 2008-11-30 by Gooner

Getafe piled the pressure on Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster Earlier with a convincing 3-1 victory.

Madrid have lost two out their last three league games and Schuster was forced into fielding a makeshift team with seven players unavailable.

Real got off to the worst possible start conceding a goal after three minutes with Juan Angel Albin converting a Jaime Gavilan cross.

Getafe who drew against Barcelona a week ago, continued to take the game to Real, whose injury problems got worse when Wesley Sneijder and Miguel Torres both limped off before half-time.

Fernando Gago grazed the crossbar but Real were unable to take a hold of the game.

Shortly after the interval Albin knocked in his second goal, slipping the ball past Iker Casillas.

Real were given hope when Javier Saviola scored after Juan Guti had won back possession, but rather than building on the goal, Madrid soon lost impetus and it was Getafe who looked more likely to score again.

With nine minutes to go Ikechukwu Uche secured the win for Getafe with a clinical finish after the hard work had been done by his strike partner Albin.
