MADRID, March 2 (Reuters) - Martin ⁠Satriano's superb first-half volley earned Getafe a shock 1-0 victory at Real Madrid in ⁠LaLiga on Monday, a result that left leaders Barcelona four points clear at the ‌top of the standings. Real dominated possession from kickoff and controlled the game but failed to turn pressure into goals, squandering several chances in an ill-tempered contest. Frustration boiled over in stoppage time when substitute Franco Mastantuono was shown a straight red ⁠card ‌for dissent, while Adrian Liso was also sent off for the visitors. Antonio ​Ruediger headed close from a corner and Rodrygo fired just ‌wide from a rebound, yet the visitors held ​firm. Mastantuono's straight red card capped a chastening night for Real, who lost at home to Getafe for the first time in 18 years.
