Tottenham and Getafe draw 1-1 in Hotspur Way pre-season friendly

Tottenham Hotspur and Getafe played out a 1-1 draw at Hotspur Way in a pre-season friendly on August 8, 2026, with Alberto Risco opening the scoring in the 56th minute and Conor Gallagher levelling in the 69th.

Tottenham entered the match under Roberto De Zerbi after a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea in their previous outing, while Getafe were concluding their pre-season programme; the fixture was arranged as part of both clubs’ preparations for the coming campaign.

The match used shorter periods than a standard game, consisting of two 35-minute halves that produced a total of 70 minutes of play, and ended evenly with one goal apiece at Hotspur Way.

Alberto Risco, described in the report as a centre attacking midfielder, scored with a left-footed volley in the 56th minute, taking his chance between two opposition players to put Getafe ahead.

Conor Gallagher restored parity in the 69th minute after reacting fastest to a loose ball near the edge of the box; the report noted his burst of speed and quick reaction produced the leveller for De Zerbi’s side.

Getafe finished their pre-season on a positive note by avoiding defeat against a Premier League opponent and left what the report described as a good impression ahead of the LaLiga 2026-27 season.

Getafe are scheduled to begin their LaLiga 2026-27 campaign against Alavés in seven days, according to the report.
