MADRID (Reuters): Barcelona fell to their first defeat in La Liga under new coach Ronald Koeman as they lost 1-0 at Getafe on Saturday, hours after champions Real Madrid slipped to a shock 1-0 defeat at home to promoted Cadiz.

Getafe forward Jaime Mata sent Barça goalkeeper Neto the wrong way from the penalty spot to score the only goal in the 56th minute after visiting midfielder Frenkie de Jong had been penalised for treading on Djene Dakonam’s foot.

The result left Barça ninth with seven points after four games, a week before the ‘El Clasico’ at home to Madrid, who remain top on 10 points having played five matches. Getafe’s win puts them level on points with the league leaders.
