A VAR for the Champions. Summary of Getafe - Sevilla. (21/04/18)

Image
Getafe recovered the Champions League position against Sevilla in a highly controversial game.     The game today was a very final to keep up Getafe qualified for the next Champions League edition. Every fan of both teams had a very feeling about this match, but the referee (Mateu Lahoz) took center stage.    Bordalás surprised all Getafe supporters. He understood that Gaku Shibasaki needed to be lined up since the beginning despite of he haven't played any match with Getafe since December (he played Asia Cup for Japan in January/February). Gaku gains self-confidence, good news for The Deep Blues who need players like him in this hard times.    Nothing was happening in the game when ‘Mudo’ Vázquez commited a penalty blocking the ball with his arm inside the box when Cabrera headed the ball. The referee didn’t blow the whistle but the VAR corrected him. Mateu went to the monitor and he blew the whistle pointing that the previous action was finally penalty. Mata didn’t

The best version of Ángel is back. Summary of Getafe - Athletic. (04/07/19)

Ángel Rodríguez is back! He saved Getafe again scoring in the latter minutes to Athletic de Bilbao in order to keep up the European Dream one week more.    He has been  apparently disappeared for a while, but, in fact, he was waiting for the precise moment that Getafe needs him in to face the latter LaLiga rounds. The best version of Ángel is coming back! He started as substitutor but he scored just after he went in, beating Athletic and making happy all the supporters.    The game began at 2 pm at Coliseum, the starting line up was too conservative to play against a direct rival as Athletic. Bordalás used two wingers in both wings in order to keep the calm, but he changed his mind fast due to the lack of chances to score.   During the first half nothing happened until David Soria blocked to Athletic their only chance. In this moment, Bordalás realised his mistake and made a replacement, Foulquier was replaced by Portillo at 39', in order to take control over th

Ángel secures the Champions League position one more week. Summary of Espanyol - Getafe. (02/04/19)

Getafe tied 1 to 1 in their visit againts Espanyol in Cornellà thanks to Ángel.    It is always difficult to do the right things, even more when the last match was horrible. But Getafe got find themselves and they showed their high intensity and their playing that they used to have.   Before the start, Bordalás surprised us: Hugo Duro, who is our homegrown favorite, was lined up. He was the most active player in the first half. The clearest chance to scored for Getafe was when Foulquier missed a 3 versus 1 in favor.    When the second half started, Getafe wanted to win the match and Mata almost scored. Getafe was sorry about this chance when Espanyol got a goal taking an advantage of a communication failure between Djené and Soria. Espanyol was winning without deserving it and Bordalás lined up both Molina and Portillo to overcome the situation. Same player always, Molina, this time he helped with a perfect pass to Ángel and our forward didn’t miss the chance to score. 

A derby with no intensity. Summary of Getafe - Leganés. (30/03/19)

Getafe was deservedly defeated by Leganés 0-2 in the southern Madrid derby.    Getafe supporters did not enjoy a lovely day because their team was unrecognizable. Getafe's playing was regrettable. This two words would be the best way to describe how bad Getafe played Leganés. Perhaps, due to either the unusual time (1:00 pm local time) or the national teams have played for two weeks.    Leganés started dominating the match. In the 15th minute Maksimovic was pointed a penalty when he stopped a shot from Leganés with his hand. The only positive thing of this awful day was when David Soria blocked the penalty shot. The rest of first half wasn't interesting at all.    The firsts attemps of the second half would have seemed that Getafe wanted to win the match but just for a while because Leganés scored in 50th minute (goal awarded by the VAR because the lineman had canceled it by offside). A miracle can't happen everyday, Molina did not score this game. Getafe n
