Getafe secured a solid 2-0 win over Alavés during matchday 8 of the Spain La Liga 2024–2025 season at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez stadium. Goals from Mauro Arambarri and Luis Milla ensured that the home side took all three points, leaving Alavés unable to find the back of the net. Arambarri broke the deadlock in the 41st minute of the first half, while Milla sealed the win with a penalty in the 57th minute, putting Getafe comfortably ahead.

Mauro Arambarri was a standout performer, not only scoring the first goal but also completing 26 precise passes throughout the match. On the defensive side, Omar Alderete played a key role, clearing several dangerous Alavés attempts and contributing to Getafe’s clean sheet.

Key Moments of the Match

While Getafe held firm, Alavés struggled to capitalize on their opportunities. Notably, in the 93rd minute, Alavés striker Kike García produced a brilliant nutmeg on Getafe defender Juan Berrocal, though it wasn’t enough to change the outcome.

José Bordalás’s Getafe side lined up in a 4-4-2 formation, with David Soria between the posts and a defensive line of Djené Dakonam, Juan Berrocal, Omar Alderete, and Diego Rico. In midfield, Carles Pérez, Mauro Arambarri, Luis Milla, and Alex Sola took control, while Chrisantus Uche and Bertug Yildirim led the attack.
