Real Valladolid vs. Getafe

A tepid encounter at the Estadio Jose Zorilla was settled by a late goal from Fabian Canobbio, although the game hinged on the dismissal of Mario Alvarez after the defender picked up his second yellow card with a quarter of an hour still remaining.

The result leaves Getafe just one place outside the bottom three on a weekend when the three sides above them and the three sides below them all picked up points, while Valladolid remain in ninth place but edge to within a point of Valencia.
