Villarreal 2-0 Getafe: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Villarreal 2-0 Getafe in the La Liga on Saturday, 06 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Villarreal secured a 2-0 victory over Getafe in La Liga. The first half saw Villarreal dominate possession but struggle to break through until Tajon Buchanan scored in the 45+5’ minute, giving them a lead just before the break. Getafe’s situation worsened early in the second half when Luis Milla received a red card in the 48’ minute, leaving them with ten men, and Villarreal capitalised with Georges Mikautadze adding a second goal in the 64’ minute to seal the win.

This result extends Villarreal’s impressive run of five straight league wins, building on their recent form that includes victories over Real Sociedad and Mallorca. Getafe, who had mixed results with a win against Elche but losses to Atlético Madrid and Mallorca, found it hard to recover after the red card disrupted their plans. Overall, Villarreal’s control and timely goals highlighted their current momentum, while Getafe’s disciplinary issues proved costly.

Villarreal’s 61% possession underlined their control of the game, allowing them to create more opportunities through 50 successful dribbles compared to Getafe’s 27, which helped them maintain pressure throughout. They also edged corners 5-3, reflecting their territorial advantage, while recording one assist that contributed to their goals. Getafe faced setbacks with four yellow cards and one red card, disrupting their rhythm, against Villarreal’s two yellows, and both sides used all five substitutions to adjust tactics.

In terms of changes, Villarreal brought on Carlos Macià for Dani Parejo at 51’, Nicolas Pépé for Ayoze Pérez and Manor Solomon for Alberto Moleiro at 70’, then T. Oluwaseyi for Georges Mikautadze and Ilias Akhomach for Tajon Buchanan at 80’. Getafe responded with Diego Rico replacing Allan Nyom at 46’, Abdel Abqar for Domingos Duarte and Álex Sancris for Kiko Femenía at 74’, Abu Kamara for Adrián Liso at 75’, and Hugo Solozábal for Mauro Arambarri at 80’, but these moves could not overturn the deficit.

The match turned decisively in Villarreal’s favour late in the first half when Tajon Buchanan scored in the 45+5’ minute, assisted by Ayoze Pérez, breaking the deadlock after a period of sustained pressure. Getafe’s hopes faded early in the second half with Luis Milla’s red card in the 48’ minute, reducing them to ten players and limiting their ability to respond. Villarreal then extended their lead through Georges Mikautadze in the 64’ minute, with an assist from Luiz Júnior, effectively putting the game out of reach.

Disciplinary issues plagued Getafe, including yellow cards for Allan Nyom at 22’, Mario Martín at 45+3’, José Bordalás at 45+4’, Mauro Arambarri at 57’, and Diego Rico at 90+1’, while Villarreal saw Carlos Macià booked at 62’ and Nicolas Pépé at 71’. Substitutions aimed to inject energy, such as Nicolas Pépé and Manor Solomon coming on for Villarreal at 70’, but the red card remained the pivotal moment that shifted momentum.

Villarreal lined up in a 4-4-2 formation, with Tajon Buchanan and Georges Mikautadze forming a potent attacking partnership that delivered both goals. Ayoze Pérez provided key support with an assist before being replaced by Nicolas Pépé, while substitutions like Carlos Macià for Dani Parejo and Manor Solomon for Alberto Moleiro helped maintain their structure and energy levels.

Getafe deployed a 4-4-2 setup, relying on players like Mauro Arambarri in midfield before his substitution for Hugo Solozábal, but their plans were hampered by Luis Milla’s early red card. Defensive changes saw Diego Rico replace Allan Nyom at half-time, with further adjustments like Abdel Abqar for Domingos Duarte and Álex Sancris for Kiko Femenía, yet they struggled to create meaningful threats.

Bwin’s Man of the Match was Tajon Buchanan, who stood out with his goal in first-half injury time and four key passes that helped Villarreal break down Getafe’s defence. Although he recorded no assists or big chances created, his overall contribution was crucial in shifting the game’s momentum before he was substituted for Ilias Akhomach late on.
