MADRID: Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Getafe on Sunday to be left six points off the lead in the Spanish league. Daniel Guiza scored in the 38th for Getafe and Ruud van Nistelrooy equalized with a penalty on halftime for his 12th goal of the season.

Madrid’s draw with the modest side from the Spanish capital kept it in fourth place, with only five wins from 12 league games at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium this season. Madrid coach Fabio Capello said David Beckham and forward Jose Antonio Reyes would miss Wednesday’s Champions League match at Bayern Munich after injuring their knees during the game.

Also, Diego Milito’s 16th goal of the season helped Zaragoza rally to a 3-2 victory over lowly Real Sociedad. In other 25th-round games, it was: Deportivo La Coruna 0, Real Betis 1; Espanyol 1, Villarreal 1; Mallorca 3, Levante 1; Racing Santander 1, Osasuna 0; and Athletic Bilbao 0, Gimnastic Tarragona 2.
