The 20-year-old Turkish internationary gave Madrid lead after 21 minutes when his fine stroke from the edge of the box found the back of the net.

Brahim Diaz seemed to break through a good chance before the ball found a young midfielder whose fierce effort was given to David Soria’s touch in Getafe’s goal, but Pucan proved too powerful.

Ten minutes later, Endrick began his first league start in the absence of injured Kylian Mbappe, he looked sure that he would double his part after playing Vinicius Junior.

However, the touch of David Soria this time proved to be determined and the children managed to clean the ball from the line.

It was mostly dominant half from visitors, but Acelotti men had almighty release from the remaining just over 15 minutes.

Alvaro Rodriguez skipped two Madrid players before finding an unmarked Mauro Arambarri in the box. But Uruguay could only pull the ball across the ball with a goal, and the famous chance for Getafe prayed.

The real boss could be seen visibly upset aside, because there were many difficult fights from the host – and some allegedly offensive singing towards Ceballos Dani – which encouraged several scissors on the ground.

Eduardo Camavind seemed to be the victim of such a challenge, and the Frenchman pushed himself in stopping, because Real were forced to see the last few minutes with ten men.

Thibaut Courtois then saved himself well with the remaining seconds as visitors kept the victorious from what was narrow and, at a time of fiery affair.
