Angel Lafita scored against his former club as Getafe recorded a 2-1 La Liga triumph over Deportivo La Coruna.
The visitors recorded their second away win on the bounce and it was Lafita s strike that proved crucial versus the side he represented between 2007 and 2009.
Fredy Hinestroza s excellent run and cross left Lafita with a simple finish to put Getafe 2-0 up early in the second half, with Depor goalkeeper Fabricio s own goal having broken the deadlock 10 minutes before the break.
Helder Postiga reduced the deficit in the 80th minute with a cool finish from inside the box, but there was no way back for Victor Fernandez s men.
Getafe climb into the top half, while Depor remain uncomfortably close to the bottom three.
Fabricio s moment of misfortune arrived when Abdoul Karim Yoda cut in from the right and fired a shot against the base of the post, with the ball rebounding off the prone keeper and into the net.
Lafita turned home Hinestroza s delivery in the 46th minute to put Getafe in control in, with a late side-footed finish from Postiga setting up a tense finish which saw the visitors hold on for the points.
