Elche suffered their eighth defeat in 12 games, dropping to the bottom of La Liga after conceding a league-high 27 goals and scoring only eight. With the score 1-0, the hosts blew a chance for a fourth draw in five games when attacker Lucas Boye missed an 87th-minute penalty. Enes Unal scored the game-winning goal in the 54th minute for Getafe, who improved to 14th after being winless in their previous five meetings. After defender Jordan Amavi was sent off in the 78th minute, the visitors played a man down.
Quique Sanchez Flores' team arrived at the Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero after three straight league defeats. However, they faced an Elche team that was at rock bottom of the standings and had yet to win this season. Both teams survived on half chances before the interval, with Getafe capitalizing on their first real chance after the restart.
