The Danish coach admitted that he thought the hosts had let their chance slip away when Ivica Dragutinovic equalised for the visitors in the 89th minute.Getafe showed that they had the drive and desire not to settle for a point and Cosmin Contra was able to steer home the winner two minutes into injury time.
"Last we played very well in Seville. We have played a complete game here though and I am very pleased," Laudrup said.
"The only thing is that I would like to have finished off the game before.
"In the first we had plenty of clear chances and in the second we had three one-against-one but could still not finish it.
"I think the players were motivated, which is logical after losing our last two home games.
"This time we saw a great Getafe team, but I thought we were also very good last week."
In the closing moments, Getafe had a chance to add to their scoreline as they had a three-against-one situation in attack, but contrived not to take advantage of it.
"The curious thing is that earlier in the day we had all watched Reading play Manchester United," Laudrup continued.
"Manchester United were winning by a single goal in the 90th minute and in a move of three against one they failed.
"If Ronaldo, Rooney and Giggs and fail, then we can too."
