Getafe and Valencia turn their backs on football

Getafe and Valencia drew goalless at the Coliseum after a bad game, with hardly any chances of danger, in which José Bordalás returned for the first time to what was his home for five years.

Hoping that the script of the bad movie would take a radical turn, the second part started, but football continued to be scarce, if not non-existent. It had to be a controversial play, already in the 70th minute, that woke up those present. Mamardashvili cleared the ball against the body of the newcomer to the field Borja Mayoral and the ball went to the back of the net. From the VAR they warned Cuadra Fernández of a possible infraction and the referee, after seeing the action on the monitor, did not hesitate: the azulón striker touched the ball with his arm, so the goal was disallowed.

The game was definitely ‘muddy’, with the game constantly stopped, protests… Nothing invited a change of scenery. The 0-0 remained immovable in the Coliseum despite the fact that nine minutes were added and the distribution of points, seen what was seen, was the fairest. None deserved to win.
