"We don't deserve so few points in these last three home games,” said striker Alberto Moreno, who scored Villarreal's equalizer early in the second half. “Results haven't gone for us but we're happy.” Getafe took the lead after 24 minutes. Mason Greenwood's flighted free kick fell to Nemanja Maksimovic and he stabbed home from the middle of a packed penalty box.

Moreno leveled 11 minutes into the second period when his left-foot shot squeezed between the goalkeeper and the post.
