Overview

• Getafe claimed a 2-0 victory at Balaídos with Adrián Liso’s opener set up by Christantus Uche and a solo strike from Uche after two Celta defensive errors.
• José Bordalás lauded the win’s merit given his side’s low number of registered first-team players and defended Uche amid reports the club may sell him to register new signings.
• Claudio Giráldez described Celta’s defeat as a “cure of humility,” blaming two costly mistakes and a lack of speed and precision in the final third for the loss.
• Espanyol overturned Atlético Madrid 2-1 at RCDE Stadium with a tying goal credited variably to Miguel or Waldo Rubio and a winner from Pere Milla, underscoring opening-day unpredictability.
• The contrasting styles of Getafe’s defensive, time-management approach and possession-based tactics elsewhere have already shaped early-season narratives on form and roster management.
