The LaLiga encounter between Getafe and Rayo Vallecano unfolded at the Estadio Coliseum in Getafe on 19 October 2026. Both sides entered the match looking to secure points, and the atmosphere was charged as the home crowd anticipated an intense battle.

How it unfolded

The opening minute saw Getafe’s Kiko Femenía booked for a bad foul, setting an early disciplinary tone. Just ten minutes later, Rayo Vallecano broke the deadlock when Álvaro García finished a right-footed shot from the centre of the box into the bottom left corner, after Jorge de Frutos delivered a cross on a fast break (11’).

Getafe’s defensive frailties were exposed again at the 16’ mark when Djené Dakonam received a yellow card for handball. The situation escalated at 28’ when the same defender was shown a straight red card and sent off, leaving Getafe to continue with ten men for the remainder of the game.

The first half concluded with a booking for Rayo’s Iván Balliu for a bad foul in stoppage time (45'+1’).

The second half began with Getafe’s Francho Serrano receiving a yellow card for a bad foul (51’). The numerical disadvantage forced Getafe to push forward, and their efforts paid off at 56’ when Martín Satriano netted a close-range right-footed shot to the bottom left corner, assisted by a cross from Francho Serrano, restoring parity (56’).

Rayo Vallecano’s Pathé Ciss was booked for a bad foul at 69’, while Getafe’s Dani Carvajal (79’), Enes Ünal (84’) and Nemanja Gudelj (87’) each added yellow cards for bad fouls as the match grew increasingly physical.
