Sevilla looked in control at halftime, Kike Salas having headed them in front on 19 minutes, but Getafe dismantled them after the break with three goals in 22 minutes to win 3-1 at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. Enes Ünal and Martin Satriano were the architects, each scoring one and assisting the other before Orel Mangala added a third in stoppage time to compound a damaging afternoon for Luis García Plaza’s side. The result lifts Getafe to 12 points and leaves Sevilla, reduced to ten men in the final minute, contemplating a third loss in their last five La Liga outings.
Key Moments
- 19′, Sevilla take the lead. Félix Correia picks out Kike Salas, the defender converting to give the visitors a deserved advantage against a Getafe side that struggled to impose themselves in the first half.
- 27′, Sevilla forced into an early change. Gabriel Suazo picks up a yellow card and Isaac Romero, already struggling, is replaced by Manu Bueno, a disruption that blunts Sevilla’s attacking rhythm before the break.
- 45′, Getafe manager Pepe Bordalás sends on Orel Mangala and David Cordón Mancha at halftime, signaling a clear tactical shift with the hosts chasing the game.
- 68′, Getafe level. Martin Satriano picks up the ball and slides it to Enes Ünal, who finishes calmly to bring the Coliseum back to life.
- 73′, Getafe take the lead. The duo flip roles: Ünal this time lays it off for Satriano, who tucks in to complete the turnaround. VAR confirms the goal on 74 minutes.
- 77′, Sevilla lose their heads. Three yellow cards are issued in a single minute, with Lucien Agoumé, Andrés Castrín and Arouna Sangante all booked for dissent as frustration boils over.
- 90′, Manu Bueno is sent off for Sevilla as the game descends into chaos. Seconds later, Orel Mangala wraps up the win for Getafe, assisted by Andrés García.
Tactical Breakdown
On paper Sevilla were the more comfortable side for much of the first half, finishing with 53% possession and 12 total shots on the day, but their xG of just 0.74 tells a truer story: the chances were largely speculative. Getafe’s xG of 1.62 despite holding only 47% possession reflects how efficiently Bordalás’ men used the ball once they restructured at the interval. The two double substitutions at halftime, bringing in Mangala for the struggling Francho Serrano and Davinchi for Jean Ives Valou, shifted the defensive shape and gave the hosts more energy in transition.
The turning point was structural as much as individual. Bordalás moved his team into a more direct posture after the break, and the Ünal-Satriano partnership became Sevilla’s central problem. Both men had the intelligence to rotate their roles: Satriano (playing as a midfielder) dropped to link play on 68 minutes and found Ünal, then pushed beyond his strike partner five minutes later to receive the return and finish. Two goals, two assists between them in the same sequence. Sevilla, meanwhile, had already burned three substitutions before the hour mark, leaving Luis García Plaza with limited options to respond to the swing in momentum.
Sevilla’s defensive structure unravelled once Getafe found their equalizer. The triple booking on 77 minutes for dissent, a moment of collective indiscipline, summed up a team that lost their composure entirely after conceding twice in five minutes. Lucien Agoumé and Andrés Castrín, both yellow-carded in that incident, had been poor for most of the second half, and the red card shown to Manu Bueno in stoppage time simply put the seal on a wretched afternoon for the visitors.

Verdict
Getafe move to 12 points with this victory, pulling away from the bottom three and giving Bordalás’ side a timely boost after a difficult start to the season. Sevilla, sitting sixth before kickoff, drop two points in their push toward the European places and face questions about their mental resilience after a second-half meltdown that included three dissent bookings and a red card. Luis García Plaza will need answers quickly.
