From Breakthrough to Parity: The Azulone Ride

Getafe arrived at this crunch match needing points after a patchy run, and found the offensive catalyst they craved in Mauro Arambarri. The midfielder didn't hesitate in the 63rd minute, finishing with precision after an assist from Borja Mayoral to put the hosts ahead. It seemed the stakes would tilt toward the Madrid side, but Alavés struck back with conviction.

Just eight minutes later, Alejandro Guevara levelled in the 71st, capitalizing on a cross from Toni Martínez to restore the balance. The upset factor never materialized, but the intensity certainly did: two goals in rapid succession that exposed defensive fragility on both sides.

Numbers Tell the Tale

Alavés dominated possession with 54% against Getafe's 46%, accumulating 10 total shots to the hosts' 7. Yet precision proved the differentiator: the Vitoria outfit generated an xG of 0.57 while the locals managed just 0.24.
