Vigo, Spain – In a match played at the Estadio Abanca-Balaídos, Getafe defeated Celta Vigo with a pragmatic and effective performance. Despite Celta’s territorial dominance, enjoying 69% of the ball possession, Getafe capitalized on their opportunities to secure all three points.
The first goal of the match came in the 47th minute, when A. Liso, assisted by C. Uche (who had received a yellow card shortly before), opened the scoring for Getafe.

In the 72nd minute, C. Uche atoned for his yellow card and extended Getafe’s lead, this time with an assist from I. Bekhoucha. Despite Celta’s efforts to come back, including several changes to their lineup starting in the 57th minute, Getafe’s defense remained solid.
