La Liga rookie defeats Real

Anthony Lozano scored the only goal. In a long ball attack early in the match, Alvaro Negredo headed the ball into the wall for Lozano to face and beat goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. Real captain Sergio Ramos made a mistake in marking the ball.

This was a worthy reward for Cadiz. Playing at the home of the defending champions, they were not at all outclassed. The visitors had 14 shots throughout the match, 5 of which were on target, while Real had 14 and 2. In the first seconds, Negredo forced Ramos to save the ball on the goal line. The striker, who played for Real's first team in 2009, had at least two more chances but failed to capitalize.

The result ended Real's 15-match unbeaten run in all competitions. It was also the first time they had lost to Cadiz in nearly 30 years. The win, however, helped the visitors climb to second in La Liga. They also have 10 points, the same as Real, but have a lower goal difference and have played one more game.

Messi elbowed in Barca's defeat

Traveling to the outskirts of Madrid to face Getafe, the newly renamed FE, it was not until the 20th minute that Barca created their first dangerous moment, when Messi fired a shot that hit the home team's goal post. In the 30th minute, Griezmann continued to show his lack of luck in a Barca shirt compared to the French national team, when he fired a shot into the sky in a face-off with the Getafe goalkeeper.
The turning point came in the 55th minute, when De Jong fouled Djene in the box and Getafe were awarded a penalty. From the penalty spot, Jamie Mata had no trouble beating goalkeeper Neto to open the scoring.

5 minutes before the end of the first half, Messi had a situation where he coordinated with Dembele, entered the Getafe penalty area but was blocked by Allan-Romeo Nyom with an elbow. He lay on the ground, holding his face and appearing to be in pain.

After conceding the goal, coach Koeman sent Ansu Fati and Coutinho onto the field. This helped Barca's game become more fluid, with more dangerous situations. However, facing Getafe's tightly organized defense, the away team Barca, despite completely dominating, could not penetrate goalkeeper David Soria's net.
