The VAR rescues Getafe

Eibar, who had not won in Getafe since he did 25 years ago in the missing field of Las Margaritas, was about to take the booty from the Coliseum. He scored 1-2 in the 86th minute, but was canceled for offside after VAR intervention. The tie seems fairer, since Getafe and Eibar were the same in almost everything.

Getafe and Eibar are the brave of the League, the two teams that shoot the defense higher and defend further from their goal. Yes, Getafe and Eibar. Nothing from Barça or Real Madrid. Another thing is that his game likes the exquisite, this detail that nothing worries either Bordalás or Mendilibar.

Lots of direct play, long movements, everything fast, little precision. After twenty minutes, no dangerous action was recorded in the areas. An auction on goal, nor dream it.

Experts in nullifying opponents, in minimizing the virtues of the rival, Getafe and Eibar ceded the role of the party to their armored division, tanks such as Etebo or Diop, workers like Arambarri and Cristóforo, people who do not shy away from a clash like Timor and Escalante.

Few things happened and it happened that the first shot between the three clubs ended in a goal. There will always be the question of whether Ángel wanted to center or connect the target ball to goal, but the fact is that the ball ended up in Etebo's feet, right inside who was in the position of the center forward. The Nigerian hit first and surprised Dimitrovic. First goal in Etebo League.

The party won agreeing that the ball passed more time in feet of Cucurella. Getafe was deepening, also helped by the fact that Eibar risked more out of necessity.

In the added time of the first part and when the chronometer already marked the 51st minute, a ball pumped by Escalante with no more intention of falling into the area ended in 1-1. Charles scored it, after Sergi Enrich's header. The importance of the second plays in which Bordalás and Mendilibar both affect. Getafe and Eibar had scored on their first clear scoring chance. Even in that they were alike. 1-1 and start again.

The second part brought more rhythm, but without precision. An opportunity from Etxeita, problems from Soria in a free kick thrown by Cristoforo, a distant shot from Jason, a shot from outside the Escalante area … fireworks.

Until in 86 ', again on a second play after a foul, Escalante put the ball back in the area and headed it Bigas. 1-2. Eibar winning in Getafe 25 years later … until the VAR said it was offside, the tie was restored and a point that does not fill either one.

Azkargorta: “I doubt that technology is capable of deciding”

What feelings does the game leave you?

Very good The team has played at a great level. Getafe makes things very difficult and we tried to make the ball be more in their field than in ours.

What do you think of the annulled goal for your team?

I have seen the image and the streak. It is very difficult to measure and I understand that technology does not give. When exactly is the moment of impact? Benzema's the other day fell against us and today too. They are millimeters and I find it very difficult.

Have you discussed this with Mendilibar?

We have discussed it and leaves you wondering how the beating has been measured. We are happy. We see the team alive and competing. We almost beat a great Getafe.

Again they started losing.

It is not easy to start losing and draw against Athletic and Getafe. The team is involved and involved in the game. It gives us good feelings and we are achieving the goal.

How do you see the classification now?

If you win you take a big step, but it is costing us. We did not manage to distance ourselves from below. We get one more point and there is one less day. If we want to get out of there, we have to win.

Do you feel hurt by VAR?

Yes. I believe it, but I find it very difficult to measure the moment of the hit, draw a line and make a decision in two minutes. We don't know how it works and I doubt that the technology is capable of deciding. In these days two referees in the field have decided that it was a goal and a line decides that it is necessary to cancel.

Is the tie low?

Winning was a giant step, but it was not final. We will work until the last day. I see the team well, committed. It's flying. This path will lead us to save ourselves. -J. A. de la Rosa

Bordalás: “We are not well nor are we fluent”

What is your assessment of this bad start?

The feeling is not good. We are not well or fluent. It was important to get ahead and again in a frontal foul we lost the marks on the second play. We were touched to rest. We have tried, but we lack calm. We were imprecise and hasty. It is the general tone of the restart of the competition. Eibar have played a very serious game.

Has this team lost identity?

We are not happy about not getting the victory. Looking at the statistics in the three games they have won us aerial duels and in the previous twenty-seven it had not happened. We have more possession than the rivals and we do not get the results. The roles have been changed and it is not good for us. We have gone from making it 2-0 to snapping the tie.

Are you more concerned with defensive mistakes or poor creation?

I am not worried. We are all angry. We have generated very little and made serious mistakes in defense. It is not usual. We continue working to improve those aspects and recover our identity that have led us to be among the best these seasons.

Mata has said that they need a victory to gain confidence.

That is what we work for. It could not be today and we will prepare the next game for it to arrive. In football, victories give you confidence and we have not yet achieved it.

Are there physical or concentration problems?

At the start of the championship we also had a hard time being at our level. The numbers say it. We hope to find it.

Eibar feels hurt. Do you agree?

I respect opinions. I also saw his first goal doubtful. It is technology and it is seen with the line.

What has changed so much at Getafe?

It is costing all the teams a lot. There are no teams that win with solvency except the big ones. We are not an exception. We made two serious mistakes in Granada and if we had won we would be talking differently. It costs a lot to win the games because there are very good squads and we all play a lot. This is not a normal situation.

What injury problems have there been?

Etebo and also Timor have been injured. A puncture and a muscle problem in the thigh. They both told us that they couldn't continue and we had to get them out. We will see the evidence. -J. A. de la Rosa
