With goals from Christantus Uche and substitute Borja Mayoral, Getafe defeated Girona 2-1 in La Liga to win away for the second time in a week. The win came a week after they beat Alaves, which lifted the Madrid club three places into the 11th spot.
Girona lost due to careless defense with three minutes remaining. Uche made no mistake with a low effort. Then, nine minutes into the second half, Yangel Herrera gave the home team an equalizer. José Bordalás, the coach of Getafe, made a brilliant move by bringing in Mayoral just after the hour mark. Mayoral put Getafe back in charge in a matter of seconds. The visitors had some breathing room after Herrera was sent off in the 73rd minute, and they finished the game without suffering any serious scares.
