Getafe, Athletic Bilbao Maintain Perfect La Liga Starts After Sevilla Defeat

Getafe started their 2025-26 LaLiga season strongly with two consecutive wins, including a 2-1 victory over Sevilla where Adrian Liso scored both goals, helping them rise to fourth in the early standings. Liso's goals came either side of an own goal by Sevilla's Juan Iglesias, handing new Sevilla coach Matias Almeyda his second defeat in as many matches. Athletic Bilbao also maintained a perfect record, narrowly beating Rayo Vallecano 1-0 thanks to Oihan Sancet’s penalty, securing their best start since 2013 while joining a five-way tie for top spot alongside Villarreal, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Getafe. This marks the first time since the 2013-14 season that five teams have won their first two LaLiga matches. Sevilla struggled at home despite applying pressure late in the game, with goalkeeper David Soria making key saves. Overall, the early season results highlight promising form for Getafe and Bilbao, while Sevilla faces challenges under their new management.
