Getafe's brief run of two home wins in a row after they lost 0-2 to Betis, and the Madrid based side find themselves back in the relegation spots by the end of the weekend. It was a controversial match though, and the locals thought themselves hard done by after referee Mejuto González turned down two early penalty appeals and disallowed two goals, the first for a non existent offside when Riki ran through to beat third choice keeper Doblas, who was in the side due to injuries to Contreras and Prats. Betis too had a goal disallowed in the first half, although Oliveira was in a clear offside position when he collected Edu's short pass.

The visitors took the lead four minutes in to the second half when Rivas got on the end of an Assunçao to beat Sánchez Broto, who was also making his first appearance for his new club. But they were left with ten men soon afterwards when Lembo picked up a second booking, and Getafe had another strike ruled out when Pachón finished off after a header came back off the bar, Gallardo lying on the ground in an offside position neat to goal. The locals threw everything forward and paid the price when a long gallop by Joaquín set up Oliveira for a second goal. And when Doblas made excellent saves from Riki and Rivas late on, Betis had their first away victory of the season. Unfortunately Alfonso wasn't around to see his side win in the stadium named after him though, the Getafe born striker being ruled out with an injury.
