Julián Araujo and Cristian Herrera found the back of the net to seal a 2-0 victory, a result that nudges the island club toward European places. An early direct red card shown to Omar Alderete immediately after play resumed left Getafe with an uphill battle and reduced options for a comeback.

Las Palmas demonstrated clinical finishing with two goals from six shots on target, addressing their usual lack of punch.

In the second half, García Pimienta’s substitutions supplied the much-needed depth. Kirian Rodríguez took charge in midfield, while Marvin Park increased the attacking threat by pressuring space and repeatedly testing the opponent’s defensive lines, injecting pace and variation into Las Palmas’ game plan.

Getafe coach Bordalás reacted at halftime by introducing Juanmi Latasa to challenge a three-man central defense and to win aerial duels, setting up Borja Mayoral to contest the ball high and repeatedly confront the backline. Yet the red card against Alderete derailed any tactical adjustments, limiting Getafe’s capacity to alter the flow of the game and mobilize a meaningful response.

The setback in Siete Palmas signaled the end of a modest streak for the blue team, snapping an eight-match run without defeat. The loss represented another setback in Getafe’s LaLiga campaign after a prolonged period without a defeat, marking a notable moment in the season’s dynamics.
