Getafe returns to La Liga a year later

A year after relegation, Getafe returned to the Spanish First Division after a 3-1 victory over Tenerife in the second leg of the promotion playoff.

The Madrid team turned the 1-0 deficit from the first leg around and now join Levante and Girona, the other two ascendants from the Second Division.

Slightly superior in the opening exchanges of the decisive duel, Getafe went ahead in the 9th minute of the game with a Faurlin goal.

Just three minutes later, the team led by Jose Bordalas increased their lead through Pacheco, who, after scoring the second, grabbed his second and Getafe's third in the 37th minute.

Tenerife cut the lead through Lozano, meaning the Canarian team needed only one goal to achieve promotion.

Jose Luis Marti's side searched for the whole second half for another and they worked with greater freshness and a better game plan than their opponents.

In the end, they had some chances and the last two, on 85 and 90 minutes via Amath and Aaron, had the home support collectively holding its breath.

Despite their fatigue, Getafe defended their advantage with cunning, trying to wear out their opponents and play as little as possible, relying on Guaita.

After much suffering, Getafe were finally able to celebrate being back among the best of Spanish football.
