30'
The funny thing about the defeat to Levante just over a week ago was that it came immediately after one of Real Madrid’s best performances of the season so far, when they blew away Alaves in a 4-1 victory.
29'
Soria makes the save! The ball is once again fed out to Marvin, but his shot at the near post is saved by Soria. The 20-year-old has shown a great deal of confidence early on here!
28'
26'
That's a bit wild! Marcelo receives the pass through the centre of the pitch and decides to take on the shot himself, but that was a bit wild from the Brazilian as he shoots well over.
25'
Marvin cross! The pass was played out to the 20-year-old down the right wing, the youngster's cross into the middle was a good one, but nobody in white could make the connection!
24'
PICTURE: Benzema has struck the bar

23'
Real Madrid have looked tired in some of the games they have played recently. Zidane has largely stayed away from rotation for the most part this season. That might now be having an impact.
22'
The experiment is working!
21'
Cross into the box! Vinicius bursts into the Getafe penalty area, but he sends a cross into the middle with nobody in a white shirt waiting for the delivery. Chakla makes the clearance.
20'
Zidane is currently under some pressure to prove himself. Real Madrid’s form in recent weeks hasn’t been the best, losing to Levante and crashing out of the Copa del Rey to lower league opposition.
19'
Getafe are having real trouble defending set pieces into their own box. That will be a worry for Bordelas. Real Madrid will surely keep trying to cause problems in the area.
17'
PICTURE: This is a big chance for Marvin

16'
Off the crossbar! Benzema gets on the end of a corner kick delivery into the Getafe penalty box, but he could only guide his header off the top of the crossbar! That's the closest Real Madrid have come!
15'
14'
Real Madrid come into this game on the back of a comeback victory over Huesca. That was a much-needed win for the Spanish champions after the shock home defeat to Levante the game before that.
13'
Good intensity from Getafe in the opening stages of this match. Real Madrid are seeing the majority of the ball, but they aren't doing much with it in the final third of the pitch.
12'
PICTURE: No early breakthrough

11'
It's notable that Modric was able to cause such an issue in the Getafe penalty area with that last freekick. Defending set pieces is usually something Getafe do very well.
9'
8'
Getafe are currently 13th in the Liga table. For a team that has grown accustomed to finishing in the European places, that is a rather disappointing place for them to be in right now.
7'
Almost the opener! A freekick delivery into the Getafe penalty area caused a bit of a problem, the ball fell to Casemiro, but the Brazilian midfielder shoots over under intense pressure!
