MADRID, 12 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Getafe achieved a vital victory this Sunday against UD Las Palmas (1-2) at the Gran Canaria Stadium, where the saves of David Soria and the goals of Coba and Borja Mayoral in the final stretch of the match, against the both of Adnan Januzaj who cut back for the locals, have allowed the Madrid team to distance itself from the relegation zone.
With this result, the Getafenses end a streak of two consecutive league defeats and reach 19 points, three more than those that mark the danger positions. Diego Martínez’s men, for their part, interrupted a series of four consecutive scoring games and were left with 22 points.
In a difficult first half, with the azulones having difficulty finishing plays, the Canary Islands team was able to pay dearly for an error in the clearance by Jasper Cillessen, who after 30 seconds left a dead ball inside the area that almost missed the ball. suppose the visiting goal.
Before the quarter-hour mark came the only great chance of the first 45 minutes for José Bordalás’ team, a play in which Carles Aleñá received a leaked ball and his shot, in one-on-one play, went close to the post. In the 31st minute, Las Palmas had their first shot on target, but David Soria stopped Kirian’s attempt from the edge of the box.
The Getafense goalkeeper acted again as soon as the match resumed after the break to thwart another shot by Alberto Moleiro. Just a few minutes later, in the 54th minute, the referee called a penalty in an action in which Omar Alderete knocked down Sandro Ramírez.
It was Fábio Silva, perhaps the yellows’ most active man in the first half, who stood before the eleven meters, but Soria guessed his shot. Later, Cillessen responded by stopping an attempt by Mauro Arambarri.
The scoreboard moved already in the 70th minute, in a cross from Peter Federico that Christantus Uche combed at the far post and that Coba, with a header, was in charge of sending into the back of the net. Borja Mayoral, in the 86th minute, seemed to be the winner for Bordalás’ team by taking advantage of a pass from Coba himself.
However, the Canaries tightened the fight two minutes later with a volley from Januzaj, who caught a rebound to close the gap. Soria still had to appear to stop a distant shot from Kirian, and Moleiro had the equalizer in stoppage time with a shot that went just wide.
