Real Madrid secured a vital but deeply dramatic La Liga Matchday 9 victory at the Estadio Coliseum on 19 October 2025, defeating Getafe 1-0 in a match that hinged on a bizarre sequence of events that left the home side with just nine players on the pitch for the closing stages. Kylian Mbappe was the decisive player, scoring his 50th goal of 2025 for club and country in the seconds after Getafe substitute Allan Nyom received a red card for a foul on the French superstar, a remarkable milestone that Mbappe had previously reached in 2023 while at PSG. The victory was crucial for Real Madrid, who were coming three weeks after their famous 5-2 derby defeat to Atletico, and needed to respond decisively to stay in the title race with Barcelona at the top of La Liga.
Vinicius Jr Changes the Match After Halftime
The match was an extraordinarily tight and competitive affair in the first half, with Getafe defending with the collective discipline and aggressive pressing that makes them one of La Liga’s most difficult opponents even for the division’s most talented sides. Mbappe, who started the match despite his exceptional recent form, was well-contained by Getafe’s defensive organisation throughout the opening period, with the Coliseum’s partisan crowd fully behind their team as the interval arrived with no goals scored.
The introduction of Vinicius Junior shortly after half-time changed the dynamic of the match completely. The Brazilian winger’s pace, directness, and ability to draw fouls from opposing defenders proved decisive in the dramatic sequence that led to Madrid’s winning goal. Vinicius drew fouls that led to yellow cards for key Getafe defenders, creating the disciplinary pressure that ultimately produced the decisive red card incident.
The turning point arrived when substitute Allan Nyom came on for Getafe’s Kiko Femenía, who was already on a yellow card, and was immediately shown a straight red card for a foul on Vinicius Junior less than a minute after entering the pitch. Mbappe scored seconds after the red card, converting with the clinical efficiency that has made him one of football’s most feared finishers, and his celebration reflected the significance of reaching 50 goals in a single calendar year. Getafe’s misery was compounded in the 84th minute when Álex Sancris received his second yellow card, leaving the home side with just nine men for the closing stages.
