La Real thrashed Getafe in an exercise of solidity, patience and good football. The set of Imanol He worked the game in the first half, took over the crash after the break and ended up overwhelming a tough, unpleasant opponent, knocking them out in the last 15 minutes. A 3-0 that opens the door to optimism and morally reinforces a team that arrived hurt after Tuesday's defeat against Valencia. The victory, the sensations and the provisional leadership, which ended the night in the hands of Betis, were the best possible shot of energy.
Oyarzabal Y For your, each in his band, were the novelties of Imanol regarding the ‘eleven’ that fell last Tuesday. The game plan also varied. Against Getafe, a torture more than a rival, Real knew how to trace the best way to try to connect with their attackers. He played deeply, seeking to overcome the last line at the top, without forcing Isak to play with your back and with For your looking for the back of the rear constantly.
As planned, the game progressed slowly, orphaned of pace. Getafe was comfortable cutting the txuri urdin wings, pressing up in all possible and impossible ways. Like a polvorón in August, the Real tried to chew the complicated stake. Thanks to a script output from Zubimendi, who drove the leather to the right and generated a superiority, launched his first warning in minute 5. The center of Gorosabel fell at the feet of Merino, whose shot cleared Arambarri at ground level. The second attempt of the Navarrese ran into Soria.
It was a mirage. The spaces were conspicuous by their absence and the 0-0 threatened to become strong in the light. La Real tried to manage time, not to rush before a Getafe that makes every mistake pay dearly. He needed a ray of light, a wink of fate. It reached the edge of half an hour.
A long ball of Gorosabel to For your ended up in the arm of Olive behind the center of Murcia. Penalty. Synonym of goal if it is Oyarzabal in the green. The '10' did not fail. It never does. Ten goals in ten attempts guarantee him. Look at the goalkeeper, jump, hit and inside. 1-0.
A full-blown respite that the Real took advantage of to look for deep balls. The solvency of You
Normand Y Aritz, again outstanding, in disputes, aids from a Zubimendi, omnipresent at times, and the criterion of Silva Y Merino gave way to the best minutes of the Real. A bad control of Isak to a precise leather of Aritz avoided the second. A minute later, Silva opened to Gorosabel, which centered the Swede. The remarkable plate finish of Isak was cleared by Soria.
The good feelings grew after the break. La Real signed a solid exercise in the first minutes. Far from suffering, the txuri urdin team knew how to handle the rhythm, without conceding, playing in rival fields and finding ways to hurt a bound Getafe.
In defense, he solved each set piece, each long leather without problems, making Remiro practically the only spectator of Anoeta. In attack, he began to recover balls in offensive zones and to move the ball with speed when the situation required it. With a Merino imperial, an intermittent Silva but with sparks of genius, a For your intense, deep, poisonous and a Oyarzabal more and more present in the rival area, the game was heading towards what it was: a win. It is a lot to say before a rival who arrived in Donostia leader and with a 0 in his scoreboard.
The 2-0 was made to beg 79 minutes but by then the Real had taken over the game. It was from set pieces, a luck reserved for solid teams. La Real controlled it without difficulty in defense and attack, wore it to make the second. Merino wins a cross from Oyarzabal, controls the loose leather with the chest and finishes off.
The 2-0 gave way to 3-0. An opponent's throw-in becomes a counter. Merino puts it on long for a For your who did not stop pulling unchecks. The one from Beniel took advantage of an error of Etxeita to stand before Soria and chop it. La Real was unleashed.
