Getafe hosted Espanyol on 20 points and needing to make the Coliseum a reliable place. They did not manage it.

The match was decided by a single passage of play. In the 53rd minute, Cabrera made it 0-1 and the rest was a siege without a finish from the hosts.

Bordalás emptied his bench with Kamara, Juanmi, Coba, Mayoral and Javi Muñoz in search of an equaliser, but the scoreline did not move.

It was a rough game: Kiko Femenía, Djené, Domingos Duarte, Sancris and Kamara were all booked for the home side.

Gil Manzano refereed the match. Getafe remain on 20 points and still cannot find their way at home.
