- Getafe were reduced to 10 men when Allan Nyom received a straight red less than a minute after coming on for an off-the-ball foul on Vinícius Júnior.
- Álex Sancris was later sent off for a second booking, leaving the hosts with nine players for the closing stages.
- The victory moved Real Madrid two points clear of Barcelona at the top, with Juventus visiting in midweek before the season’s first Clásico.
