La Liga Roundup, Matchday 19
The 19th matchday of the 2025/26 La Liga season has concluded, featuring exciting games, outstanding individual displays, and surprising outcomes. Here is an overview of these La Liga fixtures.
Getafe 1-2 Sociedad
Real Sociedad climbed to 11th place in the La Liga standings following their 2-1 victory at Getafe’s Coliseum Alfonso Perez. This loss for Los Azulones deepened their current downturn (one draw, five losses). La Real’s win extends their recent unbeaten streak (two wins, two draws) and allows them to overtake Getafe in the table due to a superior goal difference.
Betis 1-1 Oviedo
Real Betis player Giovani Lo Celso netted his first La Liga goal since August, securing a 1-1 draw against bottom-placed Real Oviedo, who have now failed to win in 12 straight league games. With only one victory in their last five league matches, Betis’ position in the top six is becoming increasingly at risk.
Villarreal 3-1 Alaves
Villarreal showcased their flair and secured a 3-1 victory against Alavés at the Estadio de la Cerámica, extending their unbeaten home streak in head-to-head matches to six games. The Yellow Submarine strengthened their hold on third place and continue to maintain some hope of competing for the title. Meanwhile, Alavés slipped to 16th place, sitting just 2 points clear of the relegation zone.
Girona 1-0 Osasuna
Girona extended their unbeaten streak to eight matches (4 wins, 4 draws) in La Liga when taking the lead, following their 1-0 win over Osasuna at Estadi Montilivi, which allowed them to move ahead of Osasuna in the standings. This win also helped Girona increase their distance from the relegation zone, even though Lass Kourouma was sent off during stoppage time.
Valencia 1-1 Elche
Grady Diangana went from scoring for Elche and then conceding a vital penalty in a 1-1 La Liga draw against Valencia at Mestalla. This result prevented the visitors from securing their first head-to-head away win since January 1987, while still maintaining pressure on Los Che manager Carlos Corberán.
Rayo Vallecano 2-1 Mallorca
Rayo Vallecano broke their eight-match winless streak in La Liga with a crucial 2-1 victory against 17th-placed Real Mallorca, a result that propelled them up five spots to 10th place in the standings.
Levante 1-1 Espanyol
Levante’s revival in La Liga continued as they came from behind to secure an important 1-1 draw at home against RCD Espanyol, extending their unbeaten streak to three matches. Meanwhile, Espanyol have now gone two games without a victory and are four points behind the top four.
Sevilla 0-1 Celta Vigo
Sevilla’s goalless streak has extended to four matches across all competitions, following a narrow 1-0 defeat to fellow top-six contenders Celta Vigo. Alonso successfully converted a penalty to secure a victory that extends Celta’s unbeaten league run to five games (4 wins, 1 draw).
