Daniel Wass nodded it over the bar after getting on the end of A José Luis Gayà cross as the feisty encounter continued.  

Manuel Aranbarri made it 1-0 to Getafe CF in the closing minutes of the first half. Valencia CF had a couple of deadball situations but it was the home side who were producing a lot in the way of danger.
