A thrilling match on the 19th round of La Liga saw Getafe take on Real Sociedad, with the visitors coming out on top, winning 2-1. The turning point came at the 35th minute of the first half when Brais Méndez scored, breaking the deadlock. However, Juanmi answered back just before halftime, leveling the scores at 1-1 with a well-executed play.
The decisive moment occurred shortly after the start of the second half, as Jon Aramburu headed in a brilliant goal at the 50-minute mark, thanks to a skillful pass from Takefusa Kubo. Aramburu outplayed his marker and directed the ball past goalkeeper David Soria Solís, sealing the match for Real Sociedad.
Jon Aramburu was undoubtedly the standout player of the game, not only scoring the winning goal but also contributing defensively with two critical clearances. Mauro Arambarri from Getafe also made an impression, completing 20 successful passes and attempting two shots on goal.

The midfield included Alejandro Mestanza, Luis Milla, Mauro Arambarri, and Adrián Liso, while Mario Martín and Javi Muñoz led the attack.
