Getafe hosted Barcelona with 7 points, in one of those matches the Coliseum treats like a final.
The match was decided from the spot: in the 56th minute, Mata converted the penalty to make it 1-0.
From then on, Getafe defended the lead with experience. Koeman exhausted his bench with Trincão, Ansu Fati, Coutinho, Riqui Puig and Braithwaite without finding the equaliser.
Mata, Cabaco, Nyom and Olivera saw yellow. Soto Grado was the referee.
The victory leaves Getafe on 10 points. The afternoon saw Mollejo make his LaLiga debut and Arambarri reach 100 appearances in the category, all for the club.
