Outstanding performance
Espanyol•MidfielderGetafe stunned Espanyol with two quick-fire goals in first-half stoppage time before holding on for a crucial 2-1 victory that leaves the home side mired in relegation trouble. Domingos Duarte and Mauro Arambarri both capitalized on a Luis Milla corner to give José Bordalás' side a commanding lead at the break. Roberto Fernández's 68th-minute header from Rubén Sánchez's cross gave Espanyol hope, but despite mounting pressure and a frantic finish that saw 15 yellow cards distributed, Getafe managed to secure all three points. The result lifts Getafe further away from danger while Espanyol remain entrenched in the bottom three, with their disciplinary issues evident as the match descended into chaos with Bordalás receiving a red card for arguing with officials.
