Mon Mar 03 10:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Leganés Edges Out Getafe in Thrilling Late-Game Derby
**Leganés, Spain** – A stunning bicycle kick in the 92nd minute by Diego García secured a dramatic 1-0 victory for Leganés over their rivals Getafe in a tense local derby at Butarque stadium today. The goal, Leganés’ only shot on target in the entire match, ended a six-game winless streak for the home side and lifted them further away from the relegation zone.
The match, played in challenging conditions due to heavy rain, was a fiercely contested affair with limited high-quality football. Both teams struggled to create clear-cut chances, resulting in a goalless first half despite a number of near misses. The second half continued in a similar vein, with several interruptions for injuries and a medical emergency in the stands that temporarily halted play.
Getafe, despite their efforts in the final stages, failed to break down a resolute Leganés defense, leaving the door open for García’s spectacular late winner. The victory provides much-needed relief for Leganés, while Getafe suffer their second consecutive defeat, adding to their relegation concerns.
Leganés will next face Celta Vigo on Saturday, March 8th, while Getafe will play Atlético de Madrid on Sunday, March 9th. The win will undoubtedly boost morale for Leganés as they battle to secure their La Liga status.
