The benefit of the former Real Madrid player opened the new La Liga season

Alaves and Getafe had the honor of opening the 2026/27 La Liga season. The teams did not fail and showed a spectacular game. The first 45 minutes were mostly even, but the withdrawal of the guests changed the situation dramatically. Kiko Femenia made a dangerous tackle on Rebbash, for which he rightly received a straight red card after VAR review. In the second half, one team dominated the field, instead, Pepe Bordalas' men tried to respond with counterattacks. In the 73rd minute, Alaves managed to break through the goalkeeper of Getafe. Former Real Madrid player Mariano Diaz, who appeared on the field after the break, made a good pass into the goalkeeper's area, which was blocked by Tenaglia with his head. In added time, Diaz himself also scored. The 34-year-old Dominican attacker managed to make an incredible shot on the nine. Later, Rodriguez with an assist from the same Diaz set the final score. As a result, Alaves confidently beat Getafe in the opening match of the Spanish championship with a score of 3:0. Alaves - Getafe — 3:0 Goals: Tenalha (73) Diaz (90+2), Rodriguez (90+4) Subtraction: Kiko Femenia (42)
