Getafe suffered a 1-0 away defeat to Osasuna in a tight La Liga EA Sports fixture at El Sadar stadium this weekend, as reported by Uxue M. de Zúñiga for Diario AS. The only goal of the game came from a first-half penalty converted by Ante Budimir after a foul by Djené, who was shown a yellow card.

The Azulones, now 14th in the table with 3 points from one win and two losses, pushed for an equalizer throughout the second half but couldn't find it. This result leaves the team with a -3 goal difference, having scored just once and conceded four times this season. They now trail league leaders Barcelona by six points.

How was the match decided?

The decisive moment came in the first half. Djené fouled Budimir inside the box, an infringement that referee Jon Ander González initially punished with a straight red card. After a VAR review, the decision was changed to a yellow, but the spot-kick was unstoppable. Budimir made no mistake, beating David Soria, who thereby made his 193rd consecutive league start, an all-time La Liga record.

Getafe's best chance to equalize came from a Carles Terrats header that was miraculously saved by home goalkeeper Sergio Herrera. Earlier, Turkish striker Enes Ünal had a goal ruled out for a tight offside. José Bordalás's side protested on several occasions, notably for a possible handball by Johan Mojica outside the area which the referee did not award.

What other incidents marked the game?

The match was punctuated by incidents and fouls. Kike Barja, Iker Muñoz and Mangala were booked for Osasuna, while Terrats received a yellow for Getafe for a foul on the keeper. A collision between defender Juanpe Herrando and Ünal forced the home player off on a stretcher, a tense moment that halted play.

Getafe manager Bordalás protested vehemently from the bench, calling for a card for substitute Boyomo after a challenge. In the dying minutes, VAR also denied Getafe a corner, sparking further complaints. The expected goals (xG) reflected the close nature of the contest: 0.10 for Osasuna versus 0.16 for Getafe.

What is Getafe's current situation?

The loss in Pamplona extends a worrying statistic for the club. Getafe have not won in their last 25 La Liga matches after conceding the first goal, a negative run that started on March 16, 2025. Ironically, their last win from a losing position was also against Osasuna.

With the transfer window closed, the team must look for solutions within the current squad. You can check the full data of the current squad on our site.

What's next for the Azulones?

The schedule offers no respite and Getafe must immediately focus on their next fixture. On Sunday, September 7, they will host Celta Vigo at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, a team currently sitting in 17th place.
