Brighton beat Getafe 1-0 in the Liga Conferência, a second-half goal from Malick Yalcouyé enough to settle a match that stayed scoreless until after the hour. The visitors had been the pre-match favorite and they left with the points after Getafe failed to find an equalizer.

Match Summary

Nothing separated the sides before half-time. Both teams worked the ball forward without a breakthrough, and the first half closed 0-0. The only caution of that spell went to Brighton's Loureiro Costinha, booked around the half-hour mark by referee F. Glova.

Brighton found the opening they needed after the restart. Malick Yalcouyé scored in the 64th minute, putting the away side in front at the Coliseum. From there the story was whether Getafe could respond. They could not. The hosts kept looking for a way back, but the score stayed 0-1.

Late in the contest the bookings stacked up. Michael Svoboda and Georginio Rutter were both shown yellow cards in quick succession for Brighton, and Johan Mojica followed for Getafe. None of those cautions became a sending-off. Brighton saw out the remainder with 11 men and the slender lead intact.

Key Moments

The first goal was always going to weigh heavily on a night with so little cutting edge from Getafe. The hosts still had a long run of time after falling behind and did not use it. They never forced Brighton into a late scramble, which is why a single strike was enough.

A late run of yellow cards arrived as the clock ran down, yet nobody was sent off. Brighton stayed at full strength while they protected a one-goal lead they had waited more than an hour to take.
