The Black-and-Whites lost 3-1 to their Spanish opponents in the first playoff match, complicating their path to the next stage.
The away side took the lead as early as the 10th minute, with Enes Ünal, Andrés García and Johan Mojica each scoring one goal for Getafe to seal the 3-1 result. Partizan had a player advantage from the 68th minute but could only manage a single goal through Demba Seck.
The goal in the 87th minute was particularly impressive, as Andrés García scored to make it 2-1, almost certainly deciding the winner. Partizan had delivered impressive results in previous stages of the competition, with a 5-0 victory against a Luxembourg club, followed by a 5-1 win against another opponent.
On the other hand, Getafe entered the playoffs directly after finishing seventh in the previous season. This result secured their place in the next stage, where they will face Partizan on 27 August in Belgrade.
This match was crucial for both teams, as the winner will hold an advantage in the next stage. Partizan will need to show maximum concentration and fighting spirit in the next encounter to avoid elimination and secure passage to the next stage.
