Getafe were hosting Almería thirteenth with 42 points, on the thirty-sixth matchday and on a Wednesday night.

The match started the wrong way: Crusat scored in the 4th minute and an own goal from Licht made it 0-2 in the 11th. Albín cut the gap in the 32nd, Manu del Moral equalised in the 62nd and scored again in the 68th, and Granero closed the 4-2 from the penalty spot in the 72nd.

Laudrup brought on Manu del Moral for Gavilán at half-time – he went on to score twice – Contra for Albín in the 70th and Celestini for Braulio in the 82nd.

Licht, Granero, Braulio and Mario Cotelo were booked for Getafe; for Almería, Carlos García, Pulido, Juanito, Crusat, Soriano and Corona.
