“Davinchi was booked for a foul, continuing a run of cards as Getafe's physical approach began to show, with Bordalás also picking up his second yellow moments earlier.”
“Isco's low shot from outside the box was saved, but Betis pounced on the loose ball as Abde Ezzalzouli finished from the center of the box after a quick counter-attack.”
Pivotal“Mario Martín was shown a second yellow card for a foul, leaving Getafe to play out the closing minutes with ten men.”
Outstanding performance

Real Betis controlled this match from start to finish, racking up 672 passes at 89% accuracy compared to Getafe's disjointed 215, and translating that control into a deserved lead just before the break. Abde Ezzalzouli was the difference-maker, pouncing on the rebound after Isco's shot was saved to give Betis a 1-0 lead they never relinquished. Getafe, managed by a visibly frustrated José Bordalás who picked up two yellow cards himself, resorted to a physical approach with 24 fouls but couldn't disrupt Betis's rhythm, and their afternoon worsened when Mario Martín was shown a second yellow in the 87th minute. For Betis, the win continues a strong home record and keeps them in touch with the title-race conversation, while Getafe's toothless attack — just 8 shots and 0 big chances created — will worry Bordalás ahead of upcoming fixtures.
How entertaining was this match?
Real Betis ride a wave of good form into a Thursday night clash at the Villamarín, aiming to close the gap on La Liga's top two. Getafe, meanwhile, arrive in the relegation mix and desperate for a result to arrest a worrying slide.
