Super-sub Mayoral gives Getafe win over Girona in upset

Getafe have won away for the second time in a week with goals from Christantus Uche and substitute Borja Mayoral securing a 2-1 win at Girona in La Liga.

The win came a week after they beat Alaves that lifted the Madrid club three places into 11th spot.

With three minutes gone, sloppy defending cost Girona. Ladislav Krejci was easily dispossessed inside his own penalty box and Uche made no mistake with a low drive.

Yangel Herrera then got an equaliser nine minutes into the second half for the home side.

However, the introduction of Mayoral just after the hour mark proved to be a masterstroke by Getafe coach José Bordalás.

The former Real Madrid and Roma striker scored within seconds to put Getafe back in control.

He was quickest to react when the goalkeeper could only parry a long-range shot and he steered the ball home from close in.

Herrera’s sending off in the 73rd minute gave the visitors some breathing space and they saw out the match without any major frights.
