The first half of the Getafe vs. Real Madrid match in the 33rd round of La Liga ended with a 1-0 lead for Carlo Ancelotti’s men, with the highlight being the goal scored by Real Madrid’s Turkish star, Arda Güler, who has made the most of his limited opportunities under Ancelotti.

While the ball was mostly circulating in midfield, Ancelotti’s players managed to create a swift counterattack in the 21st minute.

A pass from Vinícius was poorly cleared by Getafe’s defenders, allowing the ball to reach Brahim Díaz in the corner of the penalty area. The No. 21 forward for Real Madrid tonight initially tried to open the scoring, but Getafe’s goalkeeper made a good save. The ball returned to Díaz, who was surrounded by three or four Getafe players, so he chose to pass to Güler. His cross was also blocked by Getafe’s defenders, and the ball fell back to his feet.

With Getafe’s defenders heavily crowded in the penalty area, Güler had no option but to take a long-range shot. He made a decisive move with a spectacular strike from outside the box, and the ball flew past David Soria to give the visitors the lead.

This was Güler’s second goal in the current La Liga season, scored in his 23rd appearance. This goal could secure him a more consistent place in Real Madrid’s starting lineup during the crucial final weeks of the season.
