In the Spanish "La Liga" championship, three more matches of the 21st round were played on Saturday evening.
At the "Wanda Metropolitano" stadium, a small city derby took place - "Atletico" clashed with "Getafe". The team aiming for European tournaments this season, "Getafe", had to admit defeat to Diego Simeone's protégés on the road.
In the 27th minute, Antoine Griezmann scored a great goal to put "rojiblancos" in front, and just ten minutes later, Saul Niguez sealed the final score.
"Getafe" finished the match with nine players - as the game approached the end, two defenders from the team received red cards.
In second place, "Atletico" continues to trail "Barcelona" - at least temporarily reducing the gap to two points. "Getafe" remains in seventh place.
In other matches, "Valencia" defeated "Villarreal" 3-0 at home, while "Leganes" and "Eibar" shared a point.
