Yalcouye header gives Brighton narrow win at Getafe

Brighton had struggled to break down compact defences in recent matches, but they controlled possession and played patiently in Getafe. Neither side scored in the first half, despite a shot by Jaouen Hadjam that struck the post. Early in the second half, in the 64th minute, Costinha headed a pass to Yalcouye, who headed the ball into the top right corner. Brighton then managed the game as it became more physical, and the win lifts them to seven points. Getafe remain on one point after the defeat.
