Getafe hosted bottom-placed Real Murcia, who had 2 points, in the eighth round: they had gone seven rounds without a win.

Kepa scored his first goal in LaLiga for the club on the 54th and Casquero added the second five minutes later. On 67, Kepa was sent off.

The first change came on the 37th, forced by Nacho's injury: Kepa came on, and he scored before being sent off. De la Red then replaced Celestini at half-time and Pallardó came on for Sousa on 71.

Sousa and Casquero saw yellow for Getafe, and Arzo, Mejía and Paco Peña for Murcia.

Ramírez Domínguez refereed. Getafe rose to eighteenth on 5 points, level with Valladolid.
