Getafe arrived at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán on matchday 5 of the 2024-25 LaLiga season looking to turn around a difficult start, with just 3 points and 18th place at stake. Bordalás started centre-back Berrocal, who was making his Primera División debut.

The match was settled early: in the 23rd minute, Jesús Navas scored the only goal of the game to put Sevilla, coached by García Pimienta, ahead. The scoreline would not change for the rest of the match.

Sevilla were reduced to ten men late on: substitute Juanlu picked up a second yellow card in the 86th minute after an earlier booking in the 83rd. The numerical advantage, however, came too late for Getafe to make use of it, and the 1-0 scoreline held to the final whistle.

Bordalás used all six of his substitutions over the course of the match: Risco, Peter, Patrick, Aleñá, Yellu and Gorka came on, while Berrocal, Diego Rico, Carles Pérez, Arambarri, Álex Sola and Uche made way. Djené (62'), Bertuğ (45'), Álex Sola (90') and substitute Yellu (90') were all booked. For the hosts, besides Juanlu's two cautions, Isaac (56') was booked and centre-back Marcão had to be withdrawn injured in the 80th minute.

Busquets Ferrer took charge of the match. Getafe stayed on 3 points and dropped to 18th place after matchday 5.
