The La Liga match between Getafe and Rayo Vallecano at the Alfonso Pérez Coliseum ended in a dramatic 1-1 draw. The atmosphere heated up even before the ball was kicked, when in the fourth minute S. Comesana (Rayo Vallecano) received a yellow card. Shortly after replacing Getafe, L. Milla was replaced by A. Algobia. The stalemate broke the stalemate five minutes before half time, when Rayo Vallecano players thought they scored an own goal, but M. Arambarri handballed the goal. Tensions escalated even more before the whistle was blown for the break, when two yellow balls were awarded to Rayo Vallecano midfielder O. Valentin and defender A. Garcia. C. Alena also received a yellow card from the referee. Getafe made their second substitution shortly before the break, when G. Villar was replaced by Munir El Haddadi.
The second half began with a flurry of cards, when Rayo Vallecano player I. Balliu was shown a yellow card, and Getafe striker B. Mayoral received a penalty. Unfortunately, he could not take advantage of this opportunity, as he shot wide of the target. A few minutes later, Rayo Vallecano changed I. Balliu to M. Hernandez. Then K. Alain from Getafe had to be sent off when he was shown a second yellow and then a red card. After a tense moment, Getafe managed to level the score when E. Unal was able to find the back of the goal. Rayo Vallecano made the third substitution of the match when S. Comesana was replaced by P. Ciss. They were followed by Getafe, who replaced B. Mayoral with J. Latas and "goalkeeper M. Arambarri with J. Seoan". Finally, after several chances from both sides, the match ended flat. Getafe midfielder G. Alvarez and Rayo Vallecano striker R. de Tomas both had a chance to claim the winner, but neither could score a goal. Not to mention A. Garcia, who was shown a yellow card, and R. de Thomas, who did not convert a penalty in the last moments of the match.
In the next round, the opponents are waiting for such matches: Getafe - Valencia, Rayo Vallecano - Sevilla.
