Getafe 1-0 Elche: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Getafe 1-0 Elche in the La Liga on Friday, 28 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

The first half saw Elche dominate possession but fail to convert their control into goals, with Getafe holding firm defensively. Luis Milla picked up a yellow card for Getafe in the 43rd minute, adding some tension before the break, while Elche made an early substitution at half-time with R. Mendoza replacing G. Diangana. The game remained goalless until the 56th minute when M. Arambarri scored for Getafe, assisted by Kiko Femenia, shifting the momentum towards the hosts.

In the second half, substitutions continued as Getafe brought on D. Rico for A. Nyom at 65 minutes, followed by Elche’s changes including M. Aguado for M. Neto at 61 minutes and A. Pedrosa for H. Fort at 64 minutes. Further adjustments saw Elche introduce R. Mir for Andre Silva at 71 minutes and Y. Santiago for G. Valera at 72 minutes, while Getafe made double changes at 80 minutes with A. Kamara replacing Alex Sancris and Javier Munoz coming on for Kiko Femenia. Yellow cards were shown to Rodrigo Mendoza for Elche at 73 minutes, Djené for Getafe at 78 minutes, and Marc Aguado for Elche at 86 minutes, but Getafe held on for the 1-0 win after Y. Neyou replaced B. Mayoral in the 90th minute.

Despite Elche holding 66% possession compared to Getafe’s 34%, the hosts made their limited opportunities count, securing the win with fewer corners (3 vs 5) but a crucial assist leading to the only goal. Successful dribbles favoured Elche at 67 against Getafe’s 50, reflecting their greater attacking intent, yet both sides received two yellow cards each, with no red cards issued, which kept the game competitive without major disruptions. Substitutions were more frequent for Elche with five used— including R. Mendoza on for G. Diangana at 46 minutes, M. Aguado for M. Neto at 61 minutes, A. Pedrosa for H. Fort at 64 minutes, R. Mir for Andre Silva at 71 minutes, and Y. Santiago for G. Valera at 72 minutes—compared to Getafe’s four, such as D. Rico replacing A. Nyom at 65 minutes, which helped the visitors push for an equaliser but ultimately failed to overturn Getafe’s single assist advantage.

These stats underline how Getafe’s efficiency in key moments outweighed Elche’s territorial dominance, with no penalties or injury-time goals recorded, allowing the home side to grind out a narrow victory through disciplined play.

The decisive moment came in the 56th minute when M. Arambarri scored Getafe’s winning goal, assisted by Kiko Femenia, breaking the deadlock after a tightly contested first half. This strike shifted the game’s balance, as Elche’s earlier possession failed to yield clear chances despite their substitutions aimed at injecting energy.

Turning points included the yellow cards, such as Luis Milla’s booking at 43 minutes for Getafe and later cautions for both teams, which heightened the intensity without leading to dismissals. Impactful changes like Elche’s half-time switch of R. Mendoza for G. Diangana and Getafe’s late adjustments, including Y. Neyou for B. Mayoral at 90 minutes, added pressure, but Getafe’s defence held firm to secure the points.

Getafe lined up in a 4-4-2 formation, focusing on a compact defensive structure that allowed midfield partnerships like Luis Milla and M. Arambarri to control transitions effectively, with the latter proving pivotal in attack.

Elche deployed a 5-3-2 shape, emphasising width through their wing-backs and a solid backline, where central midfielders aimed to dictate play but struggled to break down Getafe’s organisation.

M. Arambarri earned Man of the Match honours for his match-winning goal in the 56th minute, combining composure in midfield with a clinical finish that defined Getafe’s efficient performance against Elche’s possession-heavy approach.
