The match was a hard-fought one, with both teams creating few scoring opportunities. Getafe had a promising start, but Athletic's defense held strong. Omar Alderete was initially flagged for handball, but the decision was overturned after a lengthy VAR review.

Getafe's Mauro Arambarri had a chance to open the scoring, but headed wide from a cross. Athletic's Gorka Guruzeta also had a chance, but fired the ball over the target. Arambarri tried an audacious shot, but it cleared the bar.

Athletic gained momentum after the break, with Guruzeta scuffing a volley wide. Valverde made double changes, introducing Adama Boiro and Oihan Sancet. Boiro almost made an impact, but his angled shot went wide. Álex Berenguer forced a save from the Getafe goalkeeper.

The winning goal came when Domingos Duarte's mistake gifted the ball to Guruzeta, who scored with a clinical finish. Dani Vivian added a second goal in the 89th minute, sealing the win.

The victory marked a crucial end to the season for Athletic, securing a top-five finish in LaLiga. Getafe, on the other hand, ended their campaign with a dismal losing run, extending to six games.
