A spirited performance from Navalcarnero captivated the home crowd at the Municipal Mariano González, but ultimately ended in heartbreak. The hosts surged into an early lead, with Iker Perera scoring in the 6th minute, followed by a goal from Jaime Pérez just eight minutes later. The atmosphere was electric, fueled by the local rivalry between the two Madrid-area teams, despite the difference in league standing – Navalcarnero competes in Segunda RFEF.
Pepe Bordalás’ Getafe side found themselves trailing for much of the first half and a significant portion of the second. The comeback began in the 69th minute with an own goal from Álvaro Calado following a chance created by Joselu Pérez. The equalizer didn’t arrive until the 89th minute, when Mario Martín found the back of the net, forcing the match into extra time. Jorge Montes then secured the win for Getafe with a goal in the 110th minute.
