Getafe hosted Alavés with a single point in the bank and desperate for a breakthrough.

The match went goalless until the closing stages and was settled from the penalty spot: in the 84th minute, Mayoral converted the spot kick to make it 1-0.

Bordalás had tried to unlock the game earlier with Alderete, Portu, Aleñá and Angileri.

Domingos Duarte was booked in the 72nd minute. Martínez Munuera refereed.

The win leaves Getafe on 4 points. The afternoon also produced a milestone on the bench: José Bordalás took charge of his 200th match in La Liga.
