The point earned keeps the Catalan side undefeated so far in 2026 and four points clear of the relegation zone, despite victories from direct rivals. Míchel's men controlled the game and created the best opportunities, including a shot hitting the crossbar by Lemar, but faced a very defensive Getafe prone to "dirty tactics" to break the rhythm.
In a first half dominated by Girona, the hosts had two clear chances. First, a set piece allowed Vitor Reis to head the ball, forcing David Soria into a crucial save (21’). Shortly after, Lemar drove the ball to the edge of the box and unleashed a powerful shot that crashed against the crossbar (25’).
The disruptive tactics mastered by Bordalás's team frustrated both the stands and the local players, who often rushed their attempts to enter the rival area and seek the equalizer.
Against all odds, Getafe took the lead in the 59th minute. A counter-attack ended with a low cross from Juan Iglesias that Luis Vázquez finished at the near post, beating Ter Stegen, who was making his debut in the Girona goal. The reaction came in stoppage time, when a great play by Àlex Moreno was finished by Vitor Reis with a header (94’), sealing the 1-1 draw.
