Getafe failed to pick up points on the road as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Real Betis at the Estadio de La Cartuja. The only goal of the match arrived in the 45th minute, with Troy Parrott setting up Abde Ezzalzouli, a move that was checked by VAR for a possible handball before being upheld.
The Azulones, sitting 15th in LaLiga with five points, tried to react in the second half but could not find a way past Rui Silva. The sending off of Mario Martín Rielves, after picking up two yellow cards, further complicated any late comeback. Mexican midfielder Álvaro Fidalgo had a token appearance, entering the pitch in the 91st minute to replace Anthony.
The defensive line of Zaid Romero, Djené and Gudelj worked to contain the Verdiblancos' attack, although David Soria did make a good save from a long-range Anthony effort in the first half. Late on, Isco, Anthony and Parrott himself tried their luck without success to extend Betis's lead.
This result leaves Getafe on a run of five league matches without a win. Their next fixture is a direct clash in the lower reaches of the standings, as they host 18th-placed Malaga at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. The squad will look to get back on track against a direct rival at home.
