Getafe and Celta Vigo share the points after a 1-1 draw

The LaLiga encounter between Getafe and Celta Vigo took place at the Estadio Coliseum in Getafe on 7 September 2026. Both sides entered the match looking to secure three points, but the contest unfolded into a tightly contested draw that saw each team finish level on the scoreboard.

How it unfolded

The opening stages were dominated by Getafe, who created the first clear chance from a corner. In the 21st minute, Martín Satriano capitalised on the set-piece, firing a right-footed shot from very close range into the top right corner to give the hosts an early lead. The goal set the tone for a first half in which Getafe tried to extend their advantage while Celta Vigo searched for a response.

Just before the break, the referee intervened on a challenge by Johan Mojica of Getafe, issuing a yellow card in the added time of the first half (45'+6') for a bad foul. The booking did not alter the scoreline, and the teams went into the interval with Getafe leading 1-0.

The second half began with both sides pressing, and Getafe’s Zaid Romero was cautioned in the 55th minute for a bad foul, receiving his first yellow card of the match. Ten minutes later, Celta Vigo restored parity. A corner from Hugo González found Carl Starfelt, who rose to meet the ball with a header from the centre of the box, directing it into the top right corner to level the match at 1-1 in the 57th minute. The goal was a direct response to Getafe’s earlier set-piece, highlighting the importance of aerial delivery from both sides.

The balance of the game shifted dramatically in the 67th minute when Zaid Romero, already on a yellow card, received a second booking for a bad foul. The referee dismissed him, resulting in a sending-off (second yellow) that left Getafe to complete the remainder of the match with ten men.

Celta Vigo’s defender Carl Starfelt, who had been instrumental in the equaliser, was later shown a yellow card in the 77th minute for a bad foul, his first caution of the afternoon. The match’s closing stages saw a flurry of disciplinary action: Getafe’s Ramón Terrats was booked in the 85th minute, and Celta Vigo’s Marcos Alonso also received a yellow card in the same minute. Neither side managed to break the deadlock after the double-booking, and the game concluded with the score locked at 1-1.

Standout performers

Martín Satriano provided Getafe with the opening goal, demonstrating composure inside the box after a corner. Carl Starfelt not only headed the equaliser for Celta Vigo but also contributed defensively, despite picking up a yellow card later on. Hugo González’s cross from the corner that set up Starfelt’s header was the key assist of the match, linking the set-piece to the crucial goal.
