Lafita hurts Barcelona title challenge A stoppage-time goal from Angel Lafita snatched a dramatic 2-2 draw for Getafe at Barcelona, which could prove fatal to the Catalan clubs hopes of retaining the Primera Division title. Gerardo Martinos men began the day four points behind leaders Atletico Madrid but a victory looked likely when Alexis Sanchez fired home in the second half after Lafita had earlier cancelled out Lionel Messis opener. But struggling Getafe grabbed an unlikely point with another equaliser from Lafita - 90 seconds into stoppage time - and Barca will find themselves six points behind Atletico if the Madrid club beat Levante on Sunday, with the two sides set to meet on the final day of the season. Barca could also find themselves down to third spot by the end of the weekend with Real Madrid due to face Valencia on Sunday night. Getafe, meanwhile, are now unbeaten in three La Liga matches to keep their noses above the relegation zone.
