Getafe defeats Sevilla 2-1 in a thrilling La Liga match, with Adrian Liso scoring a brace. Read the match report and analysis.

Getafe extended their perfect start to the season with a 2-1 win over Sevilla, marking only the second time in their history they've won their opening two La Liga matches...

Adrián Liso scored a brace, leading Getafe to victory at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium. This win puts Getafe joint fourth in the standings with six points, while Sevilla's struggles continue.

Sevilla's troubles began early in the match, particularly after Loïc Bade's emotional farewell to the home fans before the game. His departure to Bayer Leverkusen seemed to unsettle the team, as they struggled to find their footing without the centre-back's defensive prowess. By the 15-minute mark, it was evident that Sevilla were still adjusting to Bade's absence.

A corner kick was played short to Adrian Liso, who cleverly drifted infield and unleashed a shot from just outside the box. The ball took a crucial deflection, changing its trajectory and slipping past Orjan Nyland to find the back of the net. This fortunate deflection resulted in Liso's second goal in as many games, showcasing his growing form and impact on the team.

The goal was harsh on Sevilla, who had dominated the early stages and nearly took the lead after 10 minutes. Dodi Lukebakio cleverly controlled the ball, laying it off to Juanlu Sanchez, whose powerful shot narrowly sailed wide of the post. Despite their best efforts, Sevilla struggled to create clear-cut chances, with Akor Adams guilty of wasting opportunities.

Fortunes changed in the 45th minute when Sevilla finally broke through. Juanlu Sanchez delivered a pinpoint cross from the right flank, finding Jose Angel Carmona at the back post. Carmona's pressure proved too much for Juan Iglesias, who inadvertently diverted the ball into his own net, giving Sevilla a brief respite before Liso's strike just after the break.

As halftime approached, Getafe nearly regained the lead when Orjan Nyland spilled Adrian Liso's shot, but Mauro Arambarri's rebound attempt was denied. Christantus Uche followed up, unfortunately for Getafe, his effort failed to find the target.

The deadlock was broken five minutes into the second half, however, when Getafe took the lead again. Luis Milla's tireless work in midfield paid off as he expertly protected the ball before delivering a precise through ball to Adrian Liso. Liso capitalized on the opportunity, calmly steering his shot past Nyland to secure the goal.

Matías Almeyda's side responded swiftly to conceding, putting pressure on Getafe's defense. Sevilla's determination paid off around the hour mark, forcing David Soria into two crucial saves - one from Andres Castrin's header and another from Nemanja Gudelj's drive.

As the match entered its final 20 minutes, Sevilla's hopes of salvaging a win seemed to slip away. Isaac Romero hit the post with a shot, and Andres Castrin headed over, leaving Sevilla to worry about extending their winless streak at home in 2025.

Getafe continued to press Sevilla, and with just five minutes left, it seemed their persistence had finally paid off. Akor Adams fired a shot past Soria, but the goal was disallowed for offside, much to the hosts' dismay. Despite the setback, Sevilla's resolve was tested as Getafe pushed for a winner.

In the end, Getafe's defensive solidity held strong, securing a hard-fought 2-1 victory. This win marked their ninth away success in their last 13 matches and their third head-to-head triumph in their last six encounters against Sevilla. The Madrid side's resilience and determination were key factors in their victory.

Sevilla's recent form has been concerning, with only one win in their last 13 league games. Their upcoming fixtures will be crucial in determining whether they can turn their season around.
