JORNADA 1: Racing Santander 1-4 Getafe

Cantabrones silenced by blue tsunami

A convincing win over coastal minnows Racing puts Getafe in their rightful place atop La Liga after the first matchday.*

Rafa was the first to swing the axe of superiority early on before Roberto 'Bobby' Soldado added a swift brace. The hosts pulled one back through Mehdi Lacen before Soldado hit his hat-trick in the second period.

A convincing win, and one that sets the tone nicely for the new season. AUPA GETA!

*allowing for Barcelona keeping the score down against Sporting on Monday night, an admittedly unlikely prospect.
