The home team, Getafe, had been on a six-game losing streak, which they had earlier halted with a win over Real Mallorca. They carried that momentum into the match, with Borja Mayoral scoring the opening goal after a poor pass from Vincente Guaita. However, Celta's Borja Iglesias equalized soon after, and the two teams struggled to gain the upper hand before halftime.
Celta emerged stronger in the second half, with Iago Aspas, Alfon Gonzalez, and Javi Rodriguez all having chances to take the lead. Despite Getafe's defensive solidity, Celta's persistence paid off, and Aspas scored the winning goal with a volley into the bottom right corner.
Getafe's Jose Bordalas' men concluded their campaign in disappointing fashion, finishing in the bottom half of the table after suffering defeat in a first-ever head-to-head league double against Celta. However, the match ended with controversy as Ismael Bekchoucha was sent off for a cynical challenge as full-time approached.
Celta's Iago Aspas was named the Flashscore Man of the Match for his impressive performance, which secured his team's UEFA Europa League qualification for next season.
