10 yards after nine minutes, guiding the ball unchallenged into the visitors'
area.
Daniel Guiza got Getafe's second from the penalty spot after 21 minutes after
Gabi Milito had brought him down, and Guiza exploited Zaragoza's shocking
defending to put the hosts further ahead three minutes later.
Ruben Pulido added to Zaragoza's half time humiliation by heading home
Getafe's fourth goal after 36 minutes.
Jose Maria Movilla and Delio Toledo got two back for Zaragoza early in the
second half before Pablo Redondo added a fifth goal five minutes from time.
"You don't see many first 45 minutes of a game like you did today. We gave
away two daft goals at the start of the second half but then woke up again,"
added Schuster.
Celta Vigo move up to second, one point behind Getafe, after David Silva
stabbed the ball home with his left foot eight minutes from time to get the only
goal in their 1-0 win over Espanyol.
"We found them very difficult to break down," admitted Celta coach Fernando
Vasquez, despite the fact that Espanyol had been reduced to 10 men for most of
the second half after Mauricio Pochettino had got his second yellow card.
