Lugano Thrash Getafe 5-2 in Stunning Conference League Upset

Lugano produced one of the biggest surprises of the Conference League campaign by beating Getafe 5-2 away from home in Madrid. The Swiss side recovered from an early setback and took control of the match with an impressive attacking display.

Getafe made the perfect start when Iván Azón scored in the second minute, but Lugano responded almost immediately. Just a minute later, Albian Ajeti restored parity before Yannis Cimignani completed the turnaround in the seventh minute. Ajeti struck again in the 26th minute, giving the visitors a 3-1 advantage at half-time.

Lugano continued to punish the hosts after the break, with Uran Bislimi extending their lead in the 50th minute. Getafe attempted to mount a comeback, and Borja Mayoral reduced the deficit in the 74th minute, briefly raising hopes of a late recovery.

However, Kevin Behrens ended those hopes by scoring in the 92nd minute to seal a commanding 5-2 victory. The result highlighted Lugano's clinical finishing and left Getafe with plenty to consider after a difficult evening in front of their home supporters.
