LaLiga: Jaime Mata's brace moves Getafe closer to Champions League spot with win over Real Sociedad

Madrid: Jaime Mata scored in each half as Getafe defeated Real Sociedad 2-1 in the Spanish league on Monday to move closer to a Champions League spot.

Mata's double moved Getafe within two points of Sevilla, which holds the fourth and final qualification berth for the European club competition next season. Sevilla lost ground after being held by Valladolid to 1-1 on Friday.

It was the first post-break win for Getafe, which had drawn three in a row after resuming with a loss at Granada.

“This win helps us regain our confidence,” Mata said.

It was the fifth straight game without a win for Sociedad since the pandemic break. It stayed in seventh place, seven points from Sevilla.

A pair of mistakes by Sociedad goalkeeper Álex Remiro led to Mata's goals in the 20th and 83rd minutes. Remiro's bad pass to a teammate prompted the first-half penalty kick converted by Mata, and in the second goal the goalkeeper couldn't close his legs fast enough to keep the ball from going through.

Adnan Januzaj scored for Sociedad in the 55th after the linesman initially disallowed the goal for offside.

Getafe next visits leader Real Madrid on Thursday, while Sociedad hosts last-placed Espanyol.

The 27-year-old Agar had featured in both the limited-over formats for Australia last summer but missed his spot in the ODIs on their tour of England in September. Now set to join his limited-overs teammates on Sunday after completing his engagements at the Sheffield Shield and undergoing a two-week quarantine in Perth, Agar is hoping his experience in the fast few weeks will help him in the upcoming series. "I bowled about 150 overs in three Shield games. I bowled on some wickets that were absolute highways," Agar, who took 10 wickets in three games for Western Australia in October-November, was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au . "Trying to think batsmen out on really good wickets actually holds you in good stead going into an ...
