Getafe 0-1 Atlético Madrid: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Getafe 0-1 Atlético Madrid in the La Liga on Sunday, 23 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

The match between Getafe and Atlético Madrid at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez unfolded as a tense and tightly contested affair, with both sides struggling to break the deadlock in a goalless first half. Atlético were forced into an early change when Marcos Llorente made way for Antoine Griezmann in the 14th minute, potentially disrupting their rhythm, while Getafe saw Abdelkabir Abqar booked at 40' for a cynical foul. As the half progressed, neither team could find a cutting edge, leading to a scoreless interval despite Atlético's slight edge in possession.

The second half saw more action with yellow cards for Atlético's Julián Alvarez at 49' and José María Giménez at 57', adding to the intensity, before a flurry of substitutions from both sides aimed to inject fresh energy. Getafe made changes starting from the 76th minute, with A. Liso replaced by C. da Costa and A. Abqar making way for Kiko Femenia shortly after, while Atlético introduced players like Julián Alvarez off for Giacomo Raspadori and Koke replaced by Alexander Sorloth at 59'. The game remained goalless through to the end, with late yellow cards for Getafe's Mario Martín at 79' and Atlético's Juan Musso at 90+1', resulting in a hard-fought draw that left bettors pondering missed opportunities.

Atlético Madrid dominated possession with 59% compared to Getafe's 41%, allowing them to control the tempo and create more attacking transitions, though this didn't translate into goals as their 68 successful dribbles far outpaced Getafe's 36, highlighting superior individual skill in beating defenders. Corners were closely contested at 7 for Atlético and 6 for Getafe, suggesting both teams threatened from set pieces, but the card count—2 yellows for Getafe and 3 for Atlético—pointed to a feisty encounter where discipline issues disrupted flow without any red cards or yellow-reds escalating matters. With no penalties taken, no injury-time goals, and no assists recorded, the match's outcome hinged on defensive resilience, while both sides utilised all 5 substitutions, such as Atlético's early switch at 14' where Marcos Llorente came off for Antoine Griezmann and later changes like Matteo Ruggeri replaced by Conor Gallagher at 69', which helped maintain energy but failed to break the stalemate.

The lack of scoring opportunities reflected in these stats underscores why the game ended level, offering insights for bettors on future matches where Atlético's dribbling prowess could be key against less agile defences, whereas Getafe's solid corner generation might appeal in over/under markets.

The game's early disruption came when Atlético had to substitute Marcos Llorente off for Antoine Griezmann just 14 minutes in, potentially due to an issue that altered their attacking setup, while Getafe's Abdelkabir Abqar picked up a yellow card at 40' for a robust challenge that set a combative tone. In the second half, yellow cards continued to pile up with Julián Alvarez cautioned at 49' and José María Giménez at 57' for Atlético, before a double substitution at 59' saw Julián Alvarez replaced by Giacomo Raspadori and Koke making way for Alexander Sorloth in an attempt to spark the offence.

A pivotal turning point arrived at 82' when an own goal shifted the momentum, though the match's intensity persisted with late changes like Getafe's Mario Martín coming off for Alex Sancris at 86' amid their own yellow for Martín at 79', and Atlético's Juan Musso earning a booking at 90+1' as tensions boiled over in stoppage time.

Getafe lined up in a 4-1-4-1 formation, providing a solid defensive base with Luis Milla anchoring the midfield to shield the backline, while partnerships like Juanmi and Alex Sancris in attack aimed to exploit counters, though late substitutions such as Liso off for da Costa at 76' adjusted the wide roles for fresher legs.

Atlético Madrid deployed a 4-1-4-1 shape, emphasising midfield control with players like Conor Gallagher contributing dynamically before being replaced by Matteo Ruggeri at 69', and the early introduction of Antoine Griezmann on for Marcos Llorente at 14' bolstered the forward line alongside standout central defensive pairings to maintain structure.

The Man of the Match award went to Atlético Madrid's Antoine Griezmann, who made an immediate impact after coming on as a substitute at 14' for Marcos Llorente, using his vision and movement to create several promising attacks in a goalless draw; his ability to link play and threaten from midfield edges proved crucial in a game lacking clear chances, making him a standout for bettors eyeing player performance markets.
