Ünal makes art at the Coliseum

Enes Ünal is one of the players in this League. His two great goals may be worth the peace of mind for Getafe, who looked lost again and again in the mud of relegation. In a day, or in a minute, it can change your life. “Let’s not take anything for granted”, warned Quique before the sensation that Getafe was invincible at home. “We have made the Indian out”, admitted Mendilibar. Cuenca or the VAR, depending on how you look at it, made the Indian half an hour into the game. Alavés took advantage of it to command, but twice the Turk invented two great goals and put some tables that taste like glory to the azulones.

Getafe sent the start at the Coliseum as always. The pressure from above stifled Alavés and both Olivera and Damián Suárez found a reward that was misused by Maksimovic first and Sandro later. It was a quarter of an hour that presaged the usual, but little by little the course changed. First with the lateral centers of the visiting team and, when the balance was already a fact, with the expulsion of Jorge Cuenca. Reckless entry yes, without bad intention too. The fact is that all of the above was no longer valid. Geta with ten and Alavés growing.

Escalante’s goal turned the match around. He went to the edge of the break with VAR again in between and this time with success. Quique had decided to play with four back to maintain the rest of the structure and that goal gave him few options to remodel more things. With the risks that Getafe had to take, the visiting wingers found more space and Rioja began to make Damián’s life bitter. He wanted to dominate the azulón team, he wanted to believe in a tie.

And it came from a set piece with a spectacular header from Ünal. Start over? Edgar did not allow it. Duarte, who had started with doubts, got the second assist of the afternoon and the Canarian, the other end, returned the advantage to his team in a minute. He had to risk the locals, with a wardrobe background. Óscar and Mayoral on stage. And with Ünal, of course. The Turk hit a whiplash from the side that surprised Pacheco and returned the tables. Life insurance to win the good days and save the worst.

coaches and friends: Quique and Mendilibar gave each other a huge hug before the match. With the intensity of the shock they protested without arguing with each other and ended up saying goodbye with another hug. The tension on the benches was great and Cubillo ended up being sent off. They always kept the good vibes between them.
