Getafe visited the Vicente Calderón tenth on 18 points, in the fifteenth matchday.

Forlán scored in the 19th and the 1-0 never changed, but the match turned on Getafe in the most unusual way.

Laudrup replaced Mario with Belenguer at half-time, and brought on Contra for Cortés in the 67th and Kepa for Casquero in the 75th.

Licht saw a second yellow in the 72nd and goalkeeper Abbondanzieri in the 76th: with all three substitutions used, Contra went in goal and Getafe ended with nine. Cortés, Cata Díaz, De la Red, Manu del Moral and Kepa were also booked. Atlético finished with ten after the red for Reyes in the 77th and with Agüero sent off in the 64th.

Clos Gómez was the referee. Getafe stayed on 18 points, twelfth. Casquero completed fifty LaLiga appearances with the club.
