The result was fully deserved for Alaves, who outperformed Getafe in every key metric. Despite only narrowly edging possession (52% vs 48%), Alaves created significantly more chances, with 18 total shots (8 on target) compared to Getafe's 6 (2 on target). Their xG of 1.83 dwarfed Getafe's 0.24, reflecting a far greater threat in the final third.

Getafe's task became much harder when Kiko Femenia was sent off in the 42nd minute, reducing them to 10 men. Alaves capitalised on their numerical advantage, scoring three second-half goals through Nahuel Tenaglia (73'), M. Diaz (90+1'), and M. Rodriguez (90+4'). Diaz was particularly influential, contributing two assists alongside his goal. Getafe's defensive discipline faltered, conceding five corners and committing 13 fouls compared to Alaves' 16.

The decisive stat was Alaves' efficiency in front of goal, converting their 1.83 xG into three goals, while Getafe failed to make their minimal chances count. This clinical edge, combined with their numerical advantage, sealed a comfortable victory.
