Getafe put one shot on target all afternoon, and Enes Ünal scores it
Racing Santander had 57% of the ball and three shots on goal. Getafe had one — on 81 minutes, from Enes Ünal — and it was the only one that counted.
Getafe arrived at this one with no points and no goals, having been beaten 3-0 at Alavés on the opening weekend. Eighty-one minutes into their first home game, Enes Ünal fixed both problems at once.
It was, by ESPN's count, the only shot Getafe put on target all afternoon.
Racing had the ball and nothing else
The visitors finished with 57% possession and 378 accurate passes to Getafe's 247. They had three shots on goal to Getafe's one, and Getafe's goalkeeper saved all three. Racing's goalkeeper made no saves and conceded.
That is two matches now in which Racing have been the better side on the ball and taken one point from six — after leading Villarreal 2-0 at El Sardinero and drawing.
