The game got off to a bad start for Getafe as Valencia scored early with a penalty, awarded after Omar Alderete's mistake. Pepelu successfully converted the penalty, scoring past Getafe's goalkeeper David Soria.

Alderete had a chance to redeem himself with a powerful free-kick, but Valencia's goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili made a spectacular double-handed save. Unfortunately, Alderete's attempt to clear the ball only ended up in his own net, making it 2-0 for Valencia.

Valencia had another chance to score before halftime, but Andre Almeida missed a golden opportunity with a weak finish. Instead, Getafe's collapse continued, and Domingos Duarte's reckless challenge led to a penalty for Valencia. Hugo Duro calmly scored the penalty, making it 3-0 for Valencia.

Mamardashvili made another impressive save in stoppage time, denying Peter Federico's header. The Azulones struggled to regain momentum, and despite introducing new players, they couldn't find a way back into the game.

Getafe's three-game losing streak continues, with all three games ending with them conceding a goal before halftime. Valencia's victory positions them strongly for a European spot with three games left in the season.

Getafe has not won at Estadio Mestalla since April 2018, with their current losing streak at the stadium now at six years.

Flashscore's Man of the Match award went to Pepelu, Valencia's scorer of the first goal.
