It felt like a quiet Getafe afternoon. The match rolled on smoother than expected for Quique Sanchez Flores, yet there are days when several games demand attention at once. That was the case with Getafe versus Girona, a contest that finished with Getafe claiming victory at home, 3-2. The win kept them out of the relegation zone for the moment, but the path to that outcome came through multiple chapters of a closely fought encounter.
From the start, Getafe pressed, and Girona looked a touch sleepy at the back. The early momentum favored the home side as they settled into the game. The first goal came early, with Enes Unal finding the net and then playing a crucial role again before the quarter-hour, capitalizing on a nervy Girona defense. Getafe exploited the Catalan side’s vulnerabilities and dictated the pace in those opening minutes.
Before halftime, the script appeared to be written. Borja Mayor kept Girona within range with a goal, and many assumed the second half would be a straightforward formality for Getafe. Yet the match had more in store.
Restart brought Girona into a different mood. A triple substitution and a swift change in formation signaled their intent, and Taty Castellanos found the net in the 54th minute to spark belief in a comeback. The game accelerated, with rapid transitions and repeated forays into the penalty area, testing Getafe’s defense and keeping the atmosphere tense for the home crowd.
The tempo remained high as Getafe clung to the lead, resisting Girona’s pressure while attempting to extend their advantage. A late scare loomed when Girona closed the gap to 3-2, but Getafe steadied themselves and held on for three hard-fought points. The night underscored how challenging this season remains for the South Madrid club, even when victories arrive at their own ground.
