Miku brace gets Getafe off the mark

Miku bags a brace to inspire Getafe to their first victory of the season in La Liga, a 2-1 win over Osasuna.

Getafe have got their first win in La Liga with a 2-1 success over struggling Osasuna, thanks to a brace from Venezuelan striker Miku.

The former Celtic forward returned to Getafe this summer following a loan spell in Glasgow, with his contribution vital in helping the hosts prevail today.

Osasuna went into the match on a run of three successive defeats but stunned the hosts with an opening goal after 11 minutes, with Roberto Torres pouncing on a loose ball to find the bottom corner from close range.

Getafe struggled to find their rhythm early on but should have equalised through Pedro Leon, who headed wide from eight yards after meeting a curling cross from Juan Varela.

Late in the first half Getafe got a leveller their positive response merited, as Miku found space in the penalty area to plant a header into the back of the net.

Miku then struck the post on the stroke of half time with an acrobatic volley, but got his second seven minutes after the interval to put Getafe ahead.

Oriol Riera spurned a neat opening for Osasuna soon after, with Adrian Colunga equally guilty of wasteful finishing at the other end.

Getafe closed out a tense final 10 minutes to earn a hard-fought first success of the campaign, with Osasuna left to rue missed chances as they stay rooted to the foot of La Liga.
