LaLiga leaders Atletico Madrid drop points at Getafe

Atletico Madrid were held to a 0-0 draw with ten-man Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Saturday.

David Soria played a major part in securing a point for Getafe, making several saves over the course of the evening. His first saw him deny Yannick Carrasco with his legs in the first half.

Jan Oblak had a couple of moments himself at the Coliseum. Nemanja Maksimovic almost gave the hosts a first-half lead after the Atletico goalkeeper had parried Carles Alena's shot.

After bringing on Joao Felix at half time, Diego Simeone waited until midway through the second period to make his second, third and fourth substitutions.

One of those, Renan Lodi, was on the end of a strong challenge from Allan Nyom, who saw red after the subsequent VAR review.

With a man advantage, Atletico pushed for a winning goal. Substitute Moussa Dembele almost provided it but his volley was expertly kept out by Soria.
