Getafe hosted Sevilla on 29 points and with their eyes on pulling away from the uncomfortable zone. The match broke on the half-hour.

In the 26th minute, Djené was shown red and left the side with ten men for more than an hour. Juan Iglesias was booked in the same passage of play.

Getafe held out for the rest of the first half and much of the second, but the punishment arrived in the 64th: Sow made it 0-1 and decided the game.

Bordalás reshaped the team with Diego Rico, Liso, Mario Martín and Birmančević, though a man down the equaliser never came close.

Busquets Ferrer refereed the match. The afternoon also brought a debut: Birmančević played his first match in the Primera División.
