Alaves seal commanding win over Getafe

A late flurry of goals secures a 3-0 victory for Alaves.

Alaves delivered a dominant performance against Getafe, breaking the deadlock with N. Tenaglia's strike in the 73rd minute before M. Díaz and Mikel Rodríguez added two more goals deep into stoppage time. This comprehensive 3-0 win defied Fipster's low-confidence prediction of a 1-1 draw, turning what was expected to be a tight contest into a one-sided affair.
