Talavera secured a 1-0 victory over Getafe II in a Club Friendly on Wednesday evening. The match concluded at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez with the visiting side claiming all three points. It was a straightforward result for both teams preparing for the season ahead.
Talavera took the lead in the 40th minute with a single goal. The hosts struggled to create meaningful chances in response. Getafe II pushed forward but found little penetration through the visitors' defence.
The final 15 minutes brought unexpected turmoil. Both teams received red cards in the 86th minute, leaving each side with ten men for the closing stages. The dismissals came in quick succession and changed the complexion of the encounter entirely.
Getafe II arrive with concerns after recent form. They lost 2-0 to Alcorcon on their last outing and have dropped points in three of their previous five matches. Talavera showed more resilience, drawing 1-1 with Illescas on their most recent fixture.
The result leaves both sides with mixed feelings ahead of the competitive campaign. Talavera will take confidence from their away win despite the late dismissals. Getafe II must address their defensive vulnerabilities before the season begins.
