FK Partizan's 2–1 victory over Getafe was a deserved result, reflecting their superior efficiency in front of goal despite a lack of xG data. Partizan dominated possession (60%) and created more opportunities, with 18 total shots (4 on target) compared to Getafe’s 9 (4 on target). However, the decisive factor was Partizan’s ability to convert key moments, with goals from Jeh (53') and E. Kojzek (76') proving pivotal. Getafe’s Enes Unal (69') briefly leveled the score, but their lack of sustained pressure and discipline (5 yellow cards) hindered their ability to capitalize on their fewer chances.

Tactically, Partizan’s 4-3-3 formation allowed them to control the midfield, evidenced by their 453 total passes (81% accuracy) compared to Getafe’s 291 (70% accuracy). Getafe’s 5-3-2 setup struggled to contain Partizan’s wide play, resulting in 4 corners conceded and a disjointed defensive performance. Partizan’s substitutions, particularly E. Kojzek’s introduction, added fresh impetus to their attack, ultimately securing the win.

The key stat explaining the outcome is Partizan’s superior shot volume (18 vs. 9), which, combined with their clinical finishing in decisive moments, ensured their progression despite Getafe’s resilience.
