Getafe 0-1 Atletico Madrid Player Ratings: Atletico Claim Narrow Win in La Liga

Atlético Madrid secured a hard-fought 1–0 victory over Getafe in a physically demanding La Liga contest decided by an unfortunate own goal. While the performance lacked attacking fluency, it reflected the hallmarks of a typical Diego Simeone away display: disciplined, resilient, and unwavering in its defensive commitment.

Getafe, however, will feel deeply aggrieved by the result. They demonstrated admirable organisation and intensity throughout the match, matching Atlético in effort and determination. To concede through Domingos Duarte’s own goal was an especially cruel outcome for a side that showed such resolve.

Although Atlético enjoyed longer periods of possession, they frequently struggled to break down Getafe’s compact defensive structure. Clear chances were limited, and the match was marked by numerous fouls and interruptions. Ultimately, a single unfortunate incident determined a contest that, based on overall balance, might reasonably have ended in a draw.

Getafe Player Ratings vs Atlético Madrid

Check out Getafe Player Ratings from Getafe vs Atletico Madrid game:

Goalkeeper

David Soria - 8.0: Easily Getafe's best player and arguably the man of the match. He made a staggering six saves, five of which were from inside the box. He commanded his area well and could do absolutely nothing about the decisive own goal. Soria kept his team in with a shout until the very end. A fantastic performance in a losing effort.

Defenders

Abdel Abqar - 7.0: A really solid display at the back. He was a rock, making seven crucial clearances and blocking two shots. The yellow card was a minor blemish on an otherwise commanding defensive performance. He was a key reason Atlético struggled to create clear openings.

Diego Rico - 6.5: A very mixed bag from the left-back. He was a willing runner and tried to provide an outlet, but his final ball was lacking. He lost possession a frustrating 22 times which killed momentum. Defensively he was okay, winning most of his duels.

Juan Iglesias - 6.5: Tried to support the attack from the right flank, whipping in six crosses. However, only one found its mark. He was solid enough defensively but didn't provide the offensive spark his team needed. A standard, workmanlike performance.

Domingos Duarte - 5.0: It's impossible to ignore the own goal. That single moment decided the game's outcome. While his general play and passing were decent, the critical error overshadows everything else. A deeply unfortunate and costly night for the defender.

Midfielders

Djené - 6.0: The captain was his usual busy self but seemed to struggle in the physical battles. Winning just three of his eleven duels is unlike him. He tried to drive his team forward but wasn't as influential as we've come to expect. Not a bad game, but not his best.

Luis Milla - 7.5: Getafe's brightest spark in midfield. He was the main creative force, creating three chances, including one big one. He was combative, winning eight duels, and his passing was crisp. A really impressive, all-around midfield performance.

Mario Martín - 5.5: A tough night for the midfielder. He seemed a little off the pace, losing possession far too often and getting dispossessed four times. He was dribbled past four times too, which shows he struggled with the pace of the game. A learning experience for him.

Mauro Arambarri - 7.0: So unlucky not to score after hitting the woodwork. He was a bundle of energy in the middle, winning an impressive nine duels and recovering the ball seven times. He was a disruptive force and embodied Getafe's fighting spirit.

Adrián Liso - 6.0: His work rate was commendable, but his quality in possession was poor. A pass accuracy of just 38% tells its own story. He won a surprising number of aerial duels but was ultimately too wasteful to make a real impact.

Forwards

Borja Mayoral - 6.0: A very isolated and quiet evening for the striker. He had one shot on target but also missed a big chance that could have changed the game. He was caught offside twice and just couldn't get involved. Getafe needed more from their frontman.

Substitutes

No substitutes were listed in the provided match data.

Manager

J. Bordalás Jiménez - 6.5: His game plan was almost perfect. He set his team up to be compact, aggressive, and incredibly difficult to play against. They were undone by a moment of bad luck, not a tactical flaw. The only criticism is the lack of a clear plan B to create more chances.

Goalkeeper

Juan Musso - 7.0: He only had one save to make all game, but what stood out was his composure. He was confident claiming crosses and his distribution was excellent. A clean sheet is a clean sheet, and he played his part with a calm and assured display.

Defenders

José María Giménez - 7.0: A typically rugged performance from the centre-back. He made five clearances and was a presence at the back. He was perhaps a little too aggressive, committing four fouls, but he helped secure a valuable clean sheet.

Matteo Ruggeri - 8.0: An outstanding performance. From our perspective, he was one of the best players on the pitch. He was a constant threat down the left, creating three chances, and was defensively perfect, winning 100% of his duels. A complete full-back display.

Clément Lenglet - 6.5: A quiet, efficient performance. He passed the ball well and didn't make any glaring errors. He did what was asked of him without standing out, which is sometimes all you need from a defender in a 1-0 win.

Nahuel Molina - 7.0: A tireless display from the right-back. He was solid defensively, making seven ball recoveries, and got forward to support the attack. His end product wasn't always perfect, but his energy was a key asset for the team.

Midfielders

Koke - 6.5: The captain was tidy and controlled before being substituted. He kept possession ticking over and even created a big chance. It wasn't a spectacular performance, but it was a professional one. He set the tone in the middle.

Pablo Barrios - 7.0: A really energetic performance. He drove forward with purpose, completing three dribbles, and was a force in his duels. A late error that led to a shot was the only real negative in an otherwise strong showing.

Álex Baena - 7.5: Atleti's main creative hub. He was always looking for a killer pass, creating two key chances, and his crossing was a constant danger. He lost the ball a few times, but it was because he was always trying to make something happen. A positive and influential display.

Marcos Llorente - 6.5: It's a shame his night was cut short by injury after just 14 minutes. In that brief cameo, he managed to create a big chance, showing the quality he possesses. A case of what might have been.

Nico González - 7.5: He was electric. Every time he got the ball, he looked to run at the Getafe defence, completing four successful dribbles. He had two shots on target but will be disappointed he couldn't convert a big chance. A very exciting player to watch.

Forwards

Julián Alvarez - 6.0: A frustrating and ineffective performance from the Argentine. He struggled to get into the game, missed a big chance, and lost most of his physical battles. It just wasn't his night, and his substitution was no surprise.

Substitutes

No substitutes were listed in the provided match data.

Manager

D. Simeone - 7.0: This was a victory straight from the Simeone playbook. It wasn't pretty, but it was effective. His team were organized, battled hard, and found a way to win. He will be delighted with the three points and the clean sheet, even if the performance lacked flair.

Sportsdunia’s Player of the Match goes to David Soria.
