Atletico had taken an early lead through Angel Correa, but Getafe hit back with goals from Mayoral and Ünal in the first half. The hosts regained the advantage in the second half with a goal from Antoine Griezmann, but Getafe refused to give up and Mayoral eventually converted a penalty in the dying moments to earn a share of the spoils.

The result is a major blow to Atletico's hopes of securing a top-four finish, while Getafe move up to ninth place in the La Liga standings.
