Getafe beat Málaga 1-0 thanks to a late strike from Iván Azón.

The LaLiga encounter between Getafe and Málaga took place at the Estadio Coliseum in Getafe on 20 September 2026. Both sides entered the match looking to claim three points, but it was the home side that eventually broke the deadlock late in the game.

How it unfolded

The first half was tightly contested, with the referee issuing the opening booking in the 21st minute when Johan Mojica of Getafe was shown a yellow card for a bad foul. Málaga responded with a caution of their own when Eneko Jauregi was booked in the 39th minute. The tension increased in stoppage time as David Larrubia received a yellow card for a bad foul in the 45+5 minute.

The second half continued in a similar vein, with Getafe’s Nemanja Gudelj booked for a bad foul in the 54th minute, followed by another yellow for Francho Serrano in the 58th minute. Ramón Terrats added to Getafe’s disciplinary tally with a booking for a bad foul in the 68th minute.

Despite the flurry of cautions, the match remained goalless until the 85th minute, when a fast break saw Martín Satriano deliver a precise assist to Iván Azón. Azón controlled the ball inside the box and fired a right-footed shot from the centre of the area into the bottom left corner, giving Getafe a 1-0 lead that they held until the final whistle.

Iván Azón was the decisive figure, scoring the only goal of the match with a well-timed finish from a Martín Satriano assist. Martín Satriano’s contribution in the build-up to the goal also stood out, providing the key pass that unlocked Málaga’s defence.
