Quique’s team had more chances and a goal disallowed by hands against a Valencia team that made a lot of effort in defense, but were not very bright and did not shoot on goal (0-0).
Sticky, intense duel, the expected battle between a Getafe that is applied very well when harassing his rivals and a Valencia who, with his talent closely guarded, suffered a blockage in attack and did not shoot on goal. No clear chances appeared, but there was a endless faults -up to 39-and 11 yellow. It was an unattainable feat for both teams to spin three passes without a player ending up on the ground, whether they were blue or black and white. [Narracin y estadsticas (0-0)]
Getafe did not lack cheekiness in the first half. With the lines well advanced, he drowned each exit from Valencia, unable to free himself from the spider web woven by Quique like catching his back for speed. Each attempt by the wings was solved and used to look for the cracks to the three centrals that Bordals lined up. Was Olivera the first who, smarter than Guedes, stole the ball from him in his own field to go to the front and leave it to Sandrowho put together a hard shot tight to the post Mamardashvili.
In fits and starts and between fault and fault, appeared Bryan Gil down the right wing to dribble past Getafe’s defense and place a cross that he was about to find Hugo Hard. She was the best Valencian occasion to which he responded Maksimovic with a shot from the crescent into the hands of the Georgian goalkeeper.
Getafe continued to exhibit their strength at home, but they were not able to tilt the scoreboard either because nal, the flourishing scorer this season, was not at ease. Not even the threat of injury from Paulista gave him a break. He has found Bordals in the return of the Brazilian Napoleonic general that he needed to close the bleeding of goals that weighed down Valencia. From there, and with the genius above, the team is growing, which wanted to stir up before the break. First with Gil’s dribbles, Mitrovic at the frenzy, and then with a ride in the purest Gay style of Jess Vzquez in his third start to leave a ball behind the Sevillian who did not adjust.
Goal disallowed by hand
However, just as Mamardashvili sustained the tie by preventing nal from scoring a ball served from the baseline by Sandro, in the second half he was the protagonist of the play that ended with Getafe’s disallowed goal. Paulista wanted to get out of the pressure of Borja Mayoral with a back pass to the goalkeeper who was cleared to the attacker’s body, to the arm, to deflect the ball into the back of the net. The scoreboard prevented the VAR review from going up.
Quique had refreshed his team with more control in midfield, with Scar Rodríguez and Iglesias first, and then with Gonzalo Villar, and Mayoral’s mordant, protagonist as soon as he stepped onto the pitch. But Bordals also remodeled his eleven with Ilaix on the right wing and Maxi Gmez in the place of the whistled Hugo Duro without this translating into a greater dominance, much less on occasions. Valencia did not find how to bother and knock down the fierce rival who still had the best chance in an assist from end to end scar Rodrguez.
The coach from Alicante tried to lead his team into the area with three changes in the addition, but it was again Getafe who was closer to the goal with a header from Mitrovic.
