Atletico Madrid squandered two valuable points in their struggle to win the Spanish Football League title, after falling into a goalless draw against their host Getafe on Saturday in the 27th round of the League.

The match, which was held at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, witnessed the nervous performance of the two teams, forcing the referee to warn 7 players, including 6 from Atletico, and expelled Alain Neum, the Getafe player, in the 70th minute.

Atletico raised its tally to 63 points at the top of the standings, and Getafe raised its tally to 28 points in 15th place.

WHAT A SAVE, @ DavidSoria18!

With a tie, Atletico presented a gift to his pursuers at the top, Real Madrid, who is second-placed with 57 points, followed by Barcelona with one point, and he will play Monday with Huesca and has a chance, if he wins, to reduce the difference with Atletico to 4 points.

AtlĂ©tico did not take advantage of his opponent’s numerical shortfall since the 70th minute, when Getafe received a painful blow by expelling Alan Neum after he interfered strongly on Renan Lodi. The referee initially recognized him with a yellow card, but after returning to VAR, the referee showed the direct red card.
