– Atletico Madrid dominated the game but were held to a 1-1 draw on Saturday by second-from-bottom Getafe who equalized late in the second half thanks to an Enes Unal penalty.
– Atletico missed several chances to take an early lead, eventually scoring in the 60th minute when Angel Correa fired a volley into the net from a rebound.
– But Getafe secured a precious point away from home in the 83rd minute after the referee spotted a handball by Saul Niguez inside the box. Unal stepped up and blasted in the resulting penalty.
