Iván Azón gave Getafe the lead in the second minute, but Albian Ajeti equalised in the third minute and Yanis Cimignani put Lugano ahead in the seventh minute.
Lugano scored five times, with Ajeti netting twice in the 3rd and 26th minutes, and Bislimi (50th), Cimignani (7th) and Behrens (92nd) also scoring. Getafe's Mayoral scored in the 74th minute.
Europa Press reported Getafe has won one of its last ten matches, and RTS said the club sits 15th in La Liga with five goals this season.
RTS reported Lugano is unbeaten in 20 matches this season, with 17 wins and three draws, after beating Red Star Belgrade 3-2 in its first Conference League match.
Getafe moved ahead in the second minute at the Coliseum, when Iván Azón finished after a misplaced pass from Anto Grgic. Lugano answered quickly: in the third minute Albian Ajeti met a cross from Daniel Dos Santos with his chest to level the score at 1-1. Yanis Cimignani put the visitors ahead in the seventh minute, reacting to a poorly cleared ball on the right flank. Ajeti struck again in the 26th minute, finishing a counterattack that Uran Bislimi started and Dereck Moncada carried forward before crossing. At 3-1 after half an hour, Lugano controlled a match in which Getafe's defence kept losing its markers, and the home side found no answer to the six Lugano players lined up at the back.
At half-time Bordalás made four changes, bringing on Nemanja Gudelj, Johan Mojica, Ramón Terrats and Martín Satriano, as he looked for a turnaround. Getafe pushed forward and appealed for a penalty, but the home defence was exposed again during the pressing, and Bislimi made it 4-1 in the 50th minute. Watson reported that the goal followed a ball won by Mattia Zanotti. Blick described a mistake by Lugano goalkeeper David von Ballmoos as contributing to Getafe's goal, when Borja Mayoral reduced the deficit to 2-4 in the 74th minute. Satriano gave the home side a focal point in the box for the rest of the match, and Getafe pressed hard in the closing stages. Lugano held firm, and Kevin Behrens sealed a 5-2 win in added time in the 92nd minute with a counterattack.
Getafe, who had been without Carvajal because he was not eligible to play, made seven changes compared with their league match against Rayo, according to Europa Press. The Madrid side has won only once in its last ten matches, and RTS noted it sits 15th in La Liga with five goals scored this season. Getafe now has one point from two Conference League matches. Lugano, leader of the Swiss Super League, has now won two matches in two Conference League matchdays and is unbeaten in 20 matches across all competitions this season, with 17 wins and three draws. Lugano opened its campaign with a 3-2 win over Red Star Belgrade. Europa Press described the Getafe defence as fragile throughout the match, with Abdel Abqar frequently caught out by Lugano's movements.
Lugano's next match is a Super League fixture at Thun on Sunday, 25 October. Its following Conference League game is at home against Kauno Zalgiris on 5 November, in matchday three. Watson wrote that the result keeps Lugano on course to remain in European competition into the winter.
