The first half was a fairly tepid affair, but Getafe only needed 2 chances to score. Firstly a dubious penalty award after 18 minutes following a foul by Frans on Manu, Contra converted the penalty. Five minutes later a deflected free kick from Granero from the edge of the area doubled Getafe’s lead.
Between the two goals, Lierse had created a couple of decent chances: Nedzipi forcing a corner, and Dreesen shooting the resultant corner at the keeper. Just afterwards there were good chances for Cavens and Ventose.

During the break, Nikolic replaced Ventose up front for Lierse. There were not too many chances created by either side,
although Mario made it 0-3 for Getafe on 74 mins after hesitation in the Lierse defence.

Defeat for Lierse against a technically superior Spanish side.
