Atlético Madrid battled their way to a hard-earned victory over a stubborn Getafe side in a match dominated by interruptions, fouls and long stretches of frustration. The only goal arrived in scrappy fashion — a deflection off Duarte that ended up in his own net, cancelling out what had been an outstanding performance from goalkeeper David Soria.

Diego Simeone’s men struggled to carve out clear chances. Club captain Koke, making his landmark 700th appearance for Atlético, came close early on, but Soria’s heroics denied him time and again. The match grew even more tense after Marcos Llorente was forced off with an injury, slowing the game to a crawl as Getafe leaned heavily into their defensive, contact-heavy approach.

After the break, Atlético continued to press but repeatedly ran into Getafe’s defensive wall, with every challenge seemingly followed by another fall to the turf. In the end, the own goal proved enough to secure the points.
