Barcelona failed to preserve their five-point advantage over arch-rivals Real Madrid after being held to a 1-1 home draw by Getafe on Sunday. Manu del Moral stunned the home crowd after 20 minutes to put Getafe ahead. He shrugged off tame challenges from Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique to curl a right-footed shot into the bottom corner of the net. Barcelona piled on pressure in a bid to level the score but lacked creativity without sensational winger Lionel Messi, who was rested with a thigh muscle strain. Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o was unlucky to see a fierce drive strike the crossbar before the break. Malian midfielder Seydou Keita secured a share of spoils in the 71st minute. The former Sevilla man connected with Dani Alves' inch-perfect cross at the far post to head home. Despite the draw, Barcelona remain on top of the Primera Liga table with 29 points. However, their gap over Real was narrowed to three points after the title holders defeated Recreativo Huelva 1-0 on Saturday. Watch the match's goals:
