Getafe hosted Espanyol on 13 points and settled early what they then had to defend all night.

In the 8th minute, Álvaro made it 1-0. From there, the match became Bordalás's side's favourite setting: ahead on the scoreboard and with no space for the opponent.

Espanyol tried with Tejero, Cheddira, Véliz and Roca off the bench, and ended up collecting bookings without finding a goal.

Alderete, Arambarri and Patrick were booked for the hosts. Bordalás freshened things up with Yellu, Patrick and Bertuğ.

Busquets Ferrer refereed the match. The win leaves Getafe on 16 points. Alderete also reached 100 Primera División appearances.
