2Day is my bday so Tomorrow will have everything from match report to player ratings but for now lets take a look at goal.com review.

The match between Getafe and Barcelona started at a slow pace, with neither side able to stamp their authority on the game in the opening few minutes. Barcelona keeper Victor Valdes had a scare on seven minutes, when Puyol played a pass back for Pique, who slipped inside the area, forcing the keeper to leave his post to clear the danger before Soldado could get to the ball.

Getafe were the better side at this time and could have broken the deadlock in the 12th minute, when Albin's left-foot volley from outside the area caromed off the underside of the bar.This might be the 1st goal of the game...

Barcelona tried to respond but they were finding it very hard to create any danger, despite Jeffren's attempts down the flanks.

The home side struck the woodwork for a second time 28 minutes into the game, when a pinpoint cross from Pedro Leon from the right was met by Soldado's overhead kick, which hit the left post.

The Catalan club produced a solid chance for the first time in the match two minutes later through Seydou Keita, who was given far too much room in the middle of the pitch and went for glory from 30 yards out, but his effort went slightly wide of the left post.

Barcelona wasted their best chance on goal in the 43rd minute as Jeffren's good cross from the right found Ibrahimovic, who did well to control the ball and get past the opposition of Rafa but the Swede's low shot was held by Ustari.

The second period began with Barcelona introducing Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta but it was from Xavi's feet that their first chance came from, when the diminutive midfielder fired a long ball from distance that Ustari had to divert over the bar.

Barcelona would find the back of the net on 65 minutes, when Abidal's cross from the left found Ibrahimovic at the near post, and the striker had only to use the tip of his boot to send it past Ustari.

And it would not take long for the treble-winning side to double their lead, as on 79 minutes Daniel Alves connected well with Ibrahimovic, who clipped the ball into the six-yard box for Messi to head home.

Despite their two-goal lead, Barcelona refused to take their foot back off the gas and Ibrahimovic almost scored his second of the game after being put through by Xavi but his shot went straight into the hands of the Getafe keeper.

Itturalde Gonzalez brings an end to Getafe's misery as Barcelona run out 2-0 winners. The first half was largely the story of the home side, but Barca came out like a team possessed following the introduction of Andres Iniesta and especially Lionel Messi. Barca retake top spot while Getafe remain on three points.

Player Ratings

GETAFE (4-4-2)

Ustari: 7.5 – Can’t be blamed for either of the goals and pulled off a couple of choice low saves besides.

Cortes: 5 – After a good start let himself down, and couldn’t deal with the introduction of the substitutes.

Cata Diaz: 6 – Always brave in the clearance but nearly ’sold the jerseys’ with a mis-hit interception, and faded out badly.

Rafa: 5.5 – Good distribution but struggled to close down his man and retain positioning.

Mane: 6.5 – Some excellent attacking play from the former Almeria man.

Pedro Leon: 6.5 – Removed early – had a great first half but tailed off badly after that.

Celestini: 7 – Took a few minutes to get warmed up but was a harrying influence in midfield after that.

Adrian: 5.5 – Disappointing stuff from the youngster, who seemed unsure of his exact role.

Parejo: 5 – A poor afternoon for the ex-Real Madrid man, who struggled to make an impact.

Soldado: 6 – A couple of great half-chances in the second half soon dwindled into frustration.

Albin: 7.0 - How different things might have been if that volley early on was angled a few inches downwards. Energetic as always.

Substitutes

Casquero: 6 – Largely failed to make an impact.

Manu: 6.5

Pedro Rios: N/A

BARCELONA (4-3-3)

Victor Valdes: 7 – Recovered from a real slip-up at the start to end the game in comfortable fashion.

Puyol: 6.5 – Not one of the leading lights as he was played out of position – albeit at right-back, where he traditionally does well – and not his usual attacking self.

Chygrinskiy: 7.5 – After a slow start began to assert himself, and even chipped in with some great attacking play.

Pique: 7.5 – Another near-faultless performance from the youngster, who seldom looked troubled.

Abidal: 8 - Put a leash on Pedro Leon after a while and looked good on the wing as well. Much improved on last season already.

Xavi: 7.5 - A poor first half and an excellent second, Xavi tested Ustari and also was dangerous in the pass.

Yaya Toure: 7 - A very much acceptable performance from the Ivorian, although he could have been better in the tackle.

Keita: 7 - Excellent physically, but his long-range shooting wasn’t up to its usual standard.

Pedro: 6 - Found it difficult to impose himself, although his positioning and first touch are excellent.

Ibrahimovic: 7.5 - A joke of a first half followed up with an excellent showing in the second. Question marks remain over his long-term value, but who wants to argue with a goal a game start?

Jeffren: 7 – A great start down the left, but there was precious little end product to show for his endeavours.

Substitutes

Messi: 8 – Just what the doctor ordered. On came the little Argentine to completely change the game, and score a goal too.

Iniesta: 7 - Somewhat quieter than Messi but still a positive influence.

Dani Alves: 6.5
