Getafe hosted Barcelona at the best moment of their season: sixth, on 44 points and with the European places within reach after the win at Anoeta. In front of them, the league leaders.

The match stayed goalless for almost all of the first half, but it broke at the worst possible moment. In the 45th minute, with the interval in sight, Fermín made it 0-1 and sent both sides to the dressing room with the visitors ahead.

Bordalás reacted at half-time with a double change, bringing on Kiko Femenía and Abqar. The plan lasted half an hour: in the 74th, Rashford, who had just come on, made it 0-2 and closed the game out.

The Getafe coach still turned to his bench late on, with Sancris, Kamara and Luis Vázquez, but the scoreline did not move again. Djené and Mario Martín were booked. Hernández Maeso refereed the match.

The defeat carried no punishment in the table: Getafe keep their 44 points and sixth place with six matchdays to go.
