FULL TIME: GETAFE 0-2 BARCELONA

Getafe work the ball down the right and Junior puts it out for a throw. The home side take the throw quickly and Molina gets on the end of a cross, only to send his header over the bar.
90'
There will be four added minutes to end the game. They really aren't necessary.
89'
Something happens! Barca get a corner down their right. They take it short and Dakonam hooks it away. Barca are obviously content to take the points and head home now.
86'
J. Todibo enters the game and replaces Carles Pérez.
Barca make their final change. Perez off, teenage defender Todibo on.
84'
Getafe smell blood. Getafe's free-kick is cleared, but the home side are finding a second wind after Lenglet's dismissal. Kenedy whips a cross in from the left that Ter Stegen puts out of play, then Rodriguez powers a header over at the far post from the corner.
82'
C. Lenglet gets a second yellow card and is sent off.
RED CARD FOR LENGLET! Barca's centre-back receives his marching orders for a second yellow card after stepping on Molina's foot. Will that change things at all?
80'
I. Rakitić enters the game and replaces Sergio Busquets.
Here's that Barca change - Busquets, who's on a yellow, off, Rakitic on. Probably for the best in this febrile environment.
79'
Getafe are still trying manfully to create a shooting chance but Barca's defence hasn't given them a sniff for ages now. They're unlikely to score today.
77'
Sergi Roberto gets yellow.
Roberto sees yellow for something or another. It feels academic at this point.

Description
76'
Rakitic is also getting ready to come on for Barca. Soria's sweeping clearance isn't high enough and with the keeper off his line Arthur tries his luck from range, but it bounces just wide.
75'
Nélson Semedo enters the game and replaces A. Griezmann.
Barca sub. Griezmann, who's been invisible today, is replaced by Semedo.
74'
Roberto makes an ill-advised high challenge on Cucurella, winning the ball but also taking out the man. Cue uproar. Getafe free-kick. Now there's another cooling break... As if there weren't enough stoppages in this game already.

Portillo enters the game and replaces Jason.
Getafe make their final change. Jason, who's faded in this half, is replaced by Portillo.
67'

64'
N. Maksimović gets yellow.
Maksimovic also lands himself in the book for protesting too much. Getafe need to make sure they don't lose their discipline here.
63'
Kenedy gets yellow.
Tempers are flaring here. Kenedy is booked for standing on Busquets' foot near the touchline. The Getafe fans are incensed.
62'
No one is happy at the moment. Getafe's fans moan after a high boot from Arthur goes unpunished, and Suarez gives away a foul for handball as he's bearing down on goal.
60'
Soria takes the risk of venturing out of his box to deal with a high ball. Luckily for the Getafe keeper he manages to get it away without any mishap.

Getafe decide to make another change. Mata goes off and is replaced by Getafe's 37-year-old captain Molina.

56'

55'
Perez tries to race on a pass that's chipped towards him from De Jong but he can't quite keep it in play.
53'
Barca continue to probe as they look to build on their lead. They almost break Getafe down with some neat one-two play until Dakonam arrives to break it up.
51'
Barca are well and truly in charge now. Ter Stegen is out to sweep up when a rogue throughball comes his way.
49'

GOAL! 2-0 BARCA! Perez unleashes a venomous shot from range that Soria keeps out but can't hold onto. The ball falls to Firpo who only has to pass the ball into the goal.
48'
Not very much, it turns out.
47'
C. Lenglet gets yellow.
Kenedy makes an immediate impact as Lenglet is booked for bringing him down. What can Getafe do with this free-kick?
46'

The second half's underway! Can Getafe get back into this?
45' +2

44'
Sergio Busquets gets yellow.
43'
Busquets is booked for one foul too many.
41'
L. Suárez has scored a goal for Barcelona! Assist by M. ter Stegen.
That all came after Dakonam intercepted a throughball for Suarez and launched it to the other end of the pitch. Ter Stegen rushed out from his goal and sent a ball back over the top of his own, setting Suarez clear. Getafe's defensive line pushed up far too high there.
GOAL! 1-0 BARCA! Getafe have played pretty well but you just can't keep Suarez quiet for long. Suarez gets through on goal, chips it over Soria and into the net. Lovely.
40'
Barca get forward and leave themselves open to a counter through Cucurella. Nothing's on so the winger holds the ball up. Getafe get the chance to pop the ball around. Maksimovic looks to set Mata free but Pique intercepts the throughball with his chest. Gonzalez is caught offside just after that.
39'
Firpo keeps the ball close to Getafe's corner flag. Firpo loses out and retaliates by fouling Damian Suarez. The home fans aren't pleased. It's surprising that Firpo hasn't been booked yet.
37'
Jason is fouled yet again by Firpo. All the fouls are preventing this game from gathering any momentum.
36'
Arthur carries the ball down the inside-left. He looks for Firpo on the overlap but his pass goes straight out for a goal-kick. That's poor.
35'
Bruno gets yellow.

30'
There's a brief delay as the players stop for a cooling break. It's a lovely early autumn day in Getafe - almost 30 degrees Celsius.
29'
Getafe's corner comes to nothing. They ping another ball down the right flank and Barca can't clear their lines. Jason has a shot blocked and Arambarri cuts inside to blaze over from the outside of the box. Getafe are getting a lot of joy against Firpo down their right.
28'
Rodriguez wins a free-kick down the right as he's fouled by Firpo. Jason whips the ball in, it bounces off Firpo and lands to Mata whose shot goes out for a Getafe corner.
27'
Suarez almost gets on the end of De Jong's throughball but Dakonam's backheel flick does enough to take it up into the air and into the arms of Soria.
24'
Suarez picks up the ball and has a pop from the edge of the box that bounces just wide. The Uruguayan's easily Barca's biggest threat so far.
20'
Getafe enjoy a spell on the ball. Soria belts the ball upfield and it's headed down by Pique. Getafe try to release Jason again with a cross-field ball but it's too powerful for him to catch.
19'
Jason takes on Firpo and succeeds in winning a throw for Getafe. From the throw Jason jinks inside, firing in a cross that Pique heads away.
18'
Dakonam steams out of defence to close down Suarez. That briefly leaves him out of position and Getafe vulnerable, but Getafe are saved by an offside flag against Suarez.
15'
Arthur is finally granted a free-kick after he's hassled for a bit too long by Jason. Barca don't achieve much with it but Getafe's pass for Cucurella goes awry.
13'
Jason wins a free-kick when he's brought down by Firpo again. Getafe certainly look bright in these early stages.
11'

This game is now underway!
Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of this LaLiga match between Getafe and Barcelona at Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
Barcelona come into this game sixth in LaLiga, four points behind Real Madrid at the top - a rarity this early in the season. They'll welcome a visit to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez today, as they've won more LaLiga away games here than any other side.
Getafe, meanwhile, enter this game in 11th place, unbeaten in their last five games after losing on the opening day. Their last two games - a 3-3 thriller with Valencia and a 4-2 win over Mallorca - have had six goals each. Whatever happens here, we're in for entertainment.
GETAFE (4-4-2): David Soria; Damian Suarez, Djene Dakonam, Bruno Gonzalez (c), Allan Nyom; Jason, Mauro Arambarri, Nemanja Maksimovic, Marc Cucurella; Angel Rodriguez, Jaime Mata.
SUBS: Kenedy, Leandro Chichizola, David Timor, Francisco Portillo, Jorge Molina, Faycal Fajr, Xabier Etxeita.
BARCELONA (4-3-3): Marc-Andre ter Stegen; Sergi Roberto, Gerard Pique, Clement Lenglet, Junior Firpo; Frenkie de Jong, Sergio Busquets (c), Arthur; Carles Perez, Luis Suarez, Antoine Griezmann.
SUBS: Carles Alena, Moussa Wague, Nelson Semedo, Jean-Clair Todibo, Neto, Ivan Rakitic, Arturo Vidal.
The two sides are ready to go! Getafe are in their usual blue home kit, while Barca are in their yellow away kit with its fetching red and blue stripe across the chest.
Barca can now look forward to their home game against Sevilla next week which will hopefully be far more civilised. Getafe head to Real Sociedad who face Sevilla tomorrow. Let's see what happens then. That's all for now. Goodbye!
Barca's victory leaves them second in LaLiga, one point behind Real Madrid who have a game in hand. However, several sides below them can overtake them if they win their games this matchday. Getafe stay 11th with seven points from seven games. They have nothing to worry about.
