Atlético Baleares blasts Getafe with a hand!

Atlético de Baleares, from Primera RFEF, has starred in one of the surprises of the Copa del Rey at eliminate Getafe from Quique Sánchez Flores with goals Pedro Orfila (2), Dioni, Manel and Vinicius Tanque.

The Balearic club thrashed a rival who tonight was seen well below their level, making serious mistakes in defense and that, in addition, he was left with ten players in the 32nd minute after the expulsion of Uruguayan central Erik Cabaco for hitting a head butt in a scuffle with Isi Ros, who was reprimanded.

Forced to play an hour outnumbered, the azulones lived a real nightmare in the Balearic Stadium. Nothing that they had prepared for this tie came out; quite the opposite of his rival, who exhibited a high level on a historic night for the blue and white entity.

Getafe faced the duel with an extensive list of casualties –Macías, Abdulai, Chema Rodríguez, Sandro Ramírez– and his rival, practically put into the fray the eleven that every Sunday fight for the three points in their category.

The The Balearic Islands took the tie very seriously copera before a Primera, a circumstance that did not occur 35 years ago, when they fell to Mallorca Lorenzo Serra Ferrer.

It was also an opportunity to break a streak of two losses in a row that has pushed them back to third place in Group 2 of the RFEF Primera.

And the game could not have started better for the interests of the Balearic club with the goal of its captain, Pedro Orfila (min. 5), which took advantage of a bad clearance from goal Rubén Yáñez at the exit of a corner kick.

Getafe were not in the Vía de Cintura stadium in Palma. Vague, without hitting the passes and overcome by the local intensity, he conceded too much. In several phases of the first half, the second goal was much closer than the away draw.

Everything was going wrong for the Madrid team and their situation worsened (min. 32) with the expulsion of Erik Cabaco for attacking Isi Ros, who saw the yellow card.

With ten footballers on the field of play in Getafe was at the mercy of his rival, who scored the second, again after a corner kick headed to the net by Pedro Orfila.

The Balearic Islands, with everything in their favor, reduced the dynamism of the actions in the second half. He moved the ball judiciously, did his best not to take risks and even enjoyed himself with very showy plays celebrated with joy in the stands.

The Balearic fans poked at the wound of their rival with shouts from “a Segunda, olé, olé”, reminding him that he is in the relegation zone on the seventeenth day of LaLiga.

The goals of Dioni, Manel and Vinicius closed a historic win for the Balearic Islands against a First Division team, Getafe, which will take a long time to forget a fateful night on the island of Mallorca.
