Alavés continued their recovery taking a point away from Getafe in a 2-2 draw, although they felt they should have had more after leading the game right up to the last minute. Pernía had put the locals ahead from the penalty spot in only the third minute after Pellegrini had fouled Güiza, but Aloisi equalised soon afterwards with a header past Calatayud from Edu Alonso's cross. Costanzo kept out Güiza a few minutes later, but the visitors came closer after that, albeit without causing too many problems for the local keeper.

Juan Carlos Oliva ordered his side back after the restart, looking to catch their opponents out on the counter attack, and they got the goal they were looking for when Bodipo ran on to Astudillo's pass to score with a quarter of an hour remaining. Schuster threw on two extra forwards almost immediately, and Güiza should have equalised after Riki set him up for a header near the end. But with the game already in injury time, the striker made up for his mistake with his side's second goal after Riki headed on Gavilán's cross. Getafe had saved a point, and their opponents stay in the bottom three as a result.
