Getafe and Deportivo Alavés shared the spoils in a tense 1-1 draw at the Estadio Coliseum, extending Getafe’s unbeaten home record against Alavés in La Liga to nine matches. Despite both sides entering the clash after weekend setbacks, they put up a spirited fight that kept fans on edge until the final whistle.
For Getafe, their tally of nine points from the first five matches marks their best start to a La Liga season. However, their performance in the first half left much to be desired, as they failed to register a single shot on target. In contrast, Alavés showed intent, creating better chances but lacking the killer instinct to capitalize.
First-Half Frustrations and Missed Chances
Alavés came closest to breaking the deadlock in the opening period. Abde Rebbach forced David Soria into a superb save before Calebe squandered a golden opportunity from close range. With Getafe struggling to find rhythm, the visitors must have felt they had let a big opportunity slip away.
Second-Half Sparks and Goals
The second half, however, came alive. Getafe turned the tables in their favor when Luis Milla’s shot deflected off Borja Mayoral into Mauro Arambarri’s path. The midfielder made no mistake, firing home the Azulones’ first shot on target to give them the lead.
But Alavés were not to be denied. Just eight minutes later, Ander Guevara was perfectly placed to tuck home after Toni Martínez’s mishit attempt fell into his path, restoring parity and ensuring both sides had to settle for a point.
What the Result Means
The draw means Getafe missed out on the chance to secure back-to-back home wins in La Liga for the first time since December. Alavés, meanwhile, avoided back-to-back defeats for the first time since February and moved up two spots to ninth on the table.
For Tanzanian fans, who have a growing interest in La Liga, this clash served as a reminder of the unpredictability and intensity of Spanish football. Teams like Getafe and Alavés might not have the glamour of Real Madrid or Barcelona, but their determination and grit often deliver gripping football drama.
