Alaves punish ten-man Getafe with late flurry to open La Liga campaign
Alaves opened their La Liga season with a 3-0 victory over Getafe at Estadio Mendizorrotza, a scoreline shaped by a numerical advantage that lasted more than 45 minutes. The game was goalless at half-time despite Kiko Femenía being sent off for the visitors in the 42nd minute, leaving Getafe to play the majority of the contest with ten men.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Alaves eventually broke through in the 73rd minute when Nahuel Tenaglia converted an assist from Mariano Díaz to make it 1-0. The floodgates opened deep into stoppage time as Díaz himself scored in the 90+2nd minute to double the lead, before turning provider again moments later, teeing up Mikel Rodríguez to complete the scoring in the 90+4th minute.
The home side dominated proceedings throughout, holding 52% of possession and outshooting Getafe 18 to 6, with eight efforts on target compared to just two for the visitors. Getafe's red card compounded a difficult afternoon in which they managed only 0.24 expected goals against Alaves' 1.83, reflecting the gulf in control and chances created across the ninety minutes plus stoppage time.
Mariano Díaz was involved in all three Alaves goals, scoring once and setting up two more to finish with a rating of 9.3.
Alaves' 18 shots to Getafe's 6 underlined how thoroughly they controlled the game after the sending-off.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Alaves 42%, the draw 30%, Getafe 28%. It finished Alaves 3–0 Getafe.
Level sides, home ground swings it, even this early in the season — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and La Liga home advantage gives Alaves the lean. The draw at 30% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Alaves in front?
Home ground, mostly. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1759 to 1796. Sides this close won 43.2% of 15,783 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.1%). La Liga home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to away wins (28.3% vs 30.2%). La Liga homes won 46.6% of 6,080 games vs 44.9% across all 99,031 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 42%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Alaves's column. Across 10,563 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.1 — negative in every season since 2018. Alaves scored +0.36 goals per game beyond chance-quality — home sides this hot gave some of it back. Opponents of hot-finishing home sides won 28.4% of 1,450 games, vs 27.9% against normal finishing.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Getafe win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.7%. These teams' recent games average 2.6 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,561. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw. The goals environment adds 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Last 6 between them: Alaves 1 win, 1 draw, Getafe 4 wins. Most recently Alaves 0–2 Getafe, 6 months ago. Fixture history hasn't carried forward once class is level: past leaders won just 28.0% of 5567 such games — no measurable edge, 0 points.
