RCD Espanyol vs Getafe CF
Match Report
Getafe pulled off a smash-and-grab at the RCDE Stadium, scoring twice in first-half stoppage time to seal a dramatic 2-1 victory over Espanyol in La Liga's matchday 29.
Domingos Duarte broke the deadlock three minutes into added time, heading home from a Luis Milla delivery. Just four minutes later, Mauro Arambarri doubled the lead — assisted by Duarte himself — leaving the home fans shell-shocked heading into the break.
Espanyol pulled one back through Roberto Fernandez on 68 minutes and pressed hard with 66% possession, but couldn't find an equaliser. Tempers frayed in a niggly affair that produced nine yellow cards — seven of them shown to Getafe players.
The win lifts Getafe to eighth on 38 points, leapfrogging Espanyol who slip to ninth on 37. A clinical away display for the visitors; a frustrating night for the hosts who dominated the ball but lacked a cutting edge.
