Scorers and minutes as listed by El Gol Digital and Gazzetta dello Sport. Getafe coach José Bordalás made four changes at half-time after resting several regular starters, El Gol Digital said.

I feel, not frustrated, but deceived in some way, because what has been promised to me year after year has not been fulfilled. José Bordalás, quoted by AS

Bordalás told AS the result showed the squad was “unbalanced” and that he regretted resting his first-choice players, which he said he would no longer do. “With all due respect, Lugano could be compared to a team from the Second Division here in Spain, and they scored five against us,” he said. Getafe play Athletic Club at San Mamés on Sunday.

Lugano, who beat Crvena Zvezda 3-2 on matchday 1, have six points; Getafe have one.
