Getafe 3-1 Sevilla: a stoppage-time goal and a late red card seal a first win in five

Getafe had gone four matches without a win heading into this one, and for 19 minutes it looked set to stay that way. Enrique Salas headed Sevilla into an early lead, and the home side spent much of the first hour chasing the game before three goals in the space of 22 minutes turned it on its head.

Enes Ünal levelled it in the 68th minute, turning in a Martín Satriano cross, and the pair combined again five minutes later with the roles reversed — Ünal this time the provider for Satriano's finish. Sevilla's afternoon fell apart in stoppage time: substitute Manu Bueno was sent off in the 90th+1st minute, and three minutes later Orel Mangala, another substitute, added a third for Getafe from an Andrés García pass.

A chaotic finish

The closing stages were as undisciplined as they were decisive. Sevilla picked up three yellow cards inside a single minute in the 77th — Lucien Agoumé, Andrés Castrín and Arouna Sangante all booked together — before Bueno's red card completed the collapse. Getafe committed as many fouls as their opponents, 18 apiece, but it was Sevilla who ran out of players to make the numbers work in the final ten minutes.

What the table says

Getafe went into the weekend 17th on nine points, in the thick of the relegation fight; this win lifts them to 12th on 12 points, above Rayo Vallecano and Alavés in the crowded mid-table. Sevilla had been enjoying a solid start in 6th, but the defeat leaves them still there on 17 points, with a goal difference now in the red after conceding three in the final half hour.

What's next

It is a timely result for Getafe, who had taken only one win from their previous five league outings. Sevilla, by contrast, will need to tighten up defensively before their next fixture if a strong start to the season is not to unravel in the same stretch of minutes that cost them here.
