It seems clear the game plan of two teams, which in the midst of the iki tiki-taka ’and infinite possessions with a tendency to horizontality, decided to resort to direct, more rustic and more industrial football to try to add a necessary victory. Any path is valid, but between the perfectly paved routes and the rocky, Madrid and Gipuzkoan routes, they opted for the latter.
The 22 footballers who jumped to the Coliseum only needed to leave with a helmet and armor because the first 45 minutes were a battle without quarter, a fight to win every ball, a constant struggle in search of winning that second play. And it is that the ball circulated longer through Getafense airspace than through the grass. Neither team was able or wanted to make three passes in a row and the show was far from eye-catching.
In that crossing of balls in which Eibar seemed to feel comfortable and even dominating, Getafe found a prize in his first clear arrival, a ball hung in the gun area that Ángel picked up behind Cote to turn his volley into a center to the heart of the area that Bigas did not reach, but yes Etebo to make it 1-0 just before the hydration break.
Eibar did not move a hair and when the time exceeded in a minute the four of extension that he had decreed by Alberola
Red, Cote picked up the rejection of a poorly executed frontal foul to put another ball to the area he won Sergi
Enrich coming from behind to attend Charles that, from the head, made a draw that did justice.
In the second half, no one moved, and the game plan remained unchanged. Getafe gave the scare with a high shot from Arambarri after a stop Bush, but it was an exception because Eibar remained firm.
10 minutes to the conclusion, Bordalás He tried to revolutionize the game by introducing his last three changes in a run, but the one that was about to score was Escalante with a shot from outside the area that he caught David
Soria.
Yes marked Pedro
Bigas in the 85th minute heading a center of Diop, but the VAR canceled the goal for offside. A matter of a few centimeters that would have taken Eibar kilometers away from the descent.
