Barcelona Drops Points in a Stalemate with Getafe
Barcelona continued their struggle in La Liga, as they dropped points in a 1-1 draw against Getafe on Saturday evening. The match played at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez in the 20th round of La Liga, saw Barcelona take the lead early before being pegged back by Getafe.
Early Lead for Barcelona, Then a Getafe Equalizer
Barcelona was quick to take control of the match when Jules Koundé scored in the 9th minute. He capitalized on a miscommunication between Getafe goalkeeper David Soria and his defenders to put the ball into the net after a cross from Pedri. However, Getafe responded well and equalized just 25 minutes later. Mauro Arambarri found the net in the 34th minute after a rebound, bringing the score level at 1-1.
Frustration for Barcelona as Getafe Defends Deep
In the second half, Barcelona pushed forward but struggled to break through Getafe’s solid defence.
