Key Highlights
At the Coliseum, Getafe overturned a first-half deficit to beat Sevilla by three goals to one, producing a spirited second-half turnaround that turned the game on its head. Martín Satriano was the decisive figure, involved in the equaliser and then scoring himself as Getafe seized control after the interval.
First Half
Sevilla started the brighter and controlled the early pattern, enjoying the greater share of possession and almost all of the clear openings. The home side offered little in the way of attacking threat, managing one first-half shot while Sevilla tested the goalkeeper repeatedly and probed down both flanks. The home defence were breached from a corner when Kike Salas rose to head in from Félix Correia in the nineteenth minute, and Sevilla pressed again late in the half with a spell of pressure from the fortieth minute that produced several attempts but no further reward. At the interval Sevilla led by one goal to nil.
Second Half
Getafe emerged after half time with a sharper attacking intent and the momentum tilted their way. José Bordalás’s side introduced Davinchi and Orel Mangala at the break and, after a growing spell of pressure, Martín Satriano teed up Enes Ünal for an equaliser in the sixty eighth minute. Satriano then turned provider to good effect again when Ünal returned the favour and Satriano slotted home in the seventy third minute to put Getafe in front. The hosts kept Sevilla on the back foot for large periods of the second half, creating the clearer chances, and Andrés García’s pass released Orel Mangala to wrap the game up in added time in the ninetieth minute. Sevilla were hit by a late dismissal when Manu Bueno, who had come on earlier, was shown a red card in added time, reducing Sevilla to ten men. Getafe finished strongly and won by three goals to one.
Closing Thoughts
The victory is a much needed boost for Getafe, who remain in the relegation places but pick up three points that may ease some pressure on José Bordalás as they travel to Villarreal next. Sevilla, who remain sixth in the table, will rue a second-half collapse and must regroup for a home game against Deportivo Alaves. The result alters momentum rather than the order of the standings: Getafe move off the back of a fragile run with a performance that showed the kind of second-half attacking threat their season has lacked, while Sevilla face the task of steadying themselves after a damaging late swing.
