Getafe Secures Upset Win Against Girona in La Liga Encounter

In a surprising turn of events, Getafe managed to clinch a 2-1 victory against Girona in an away match during the 24th round of La Liga. The game took place at the Montilivi Stadium in Girona on February 14, 2025.

Nigerian midfielder Chrisantus Uche gave the visitors an early lead, scoring just three minutes into the match. Girona equalized shortly after halftime through Yangel Herrera. However, Getafe’s substitute Borja Mayoral made an immediate impact, netting the winning goal in the 62nd minute, mere moments after coming onto the field.

The home team’s woes were compounded when goalscorer Herrera received a straight red card for a reckless challenge in the 73rd minute, leaving Girona to finish the match with ten men.

This result sees Getafe climb to 11th place in the league table with 30 points, while Girona remains in 8th position with 31 points. The unexpected outcome could have significant implications for both teams’ ambitions this season.
