Getafe and Valladolid draw in a match with La Liga intensity
Getafe and Real Valladolid played to a 0-0 draw in their preseason friendly in Las Rozas, a game that, for its intensity and pace, resembled official competition matches. It was Getafe's third preseason friendly, after finishing the 2025 season in seventh place with 51 points (15 wins, 6 draws, and 17 losses).
What happened in the match?
Getafe had the best chances in the first half, especially with a free-kick shot by Coba Uche that forced Aceves to clear to a corner. Iván Alejo received a yellow card for pushing Mario Martín, which sparked a small scuffle on the field. Valladolid, meanwhile, had two clear chances with Chacón and Latasa, but failed to beat Diego Ferrer.
In the second half, Víctor Junior had Valladolid's best opportunity, but Ferrer made a great save to keep his goal clean. Getafe responded with another attempt from Uche on a set piece, but the score remained unchanged.
Why is this important for Getafe?
This match was a good test for the blue team, who showed defensive solidity and the ability to create danger. With a streak of two consecutive wins at the end of last season (3 wins, 0 draws, and 2 losses in their last five matches), José Bordalás' team aims to maintain that momentum in the preseason.
What's next?
Getafe will continue their preparation with more friendlies before the start of the new La Liga season. With a record of 32 goals scored and 38 conceded last season, the team will look to improve their goal difference and solidify their position in the upper half of the table.
