Valencia 2-Getafe 2 | Soler scratches a point in 99 ', in a mad end in Mestalla

Another duel for the Valencia-Getafe collection. Another end of heart attack in Mestalla. Again a match of tension, crazy. Not high quality, but a lot of frenzy. Of rifirrafes and with expulsions. Valencia was winning it in 86 ’, Getafe had turned it around in 93’ and Carlos Soler tied it in 99 ’. Surely the point does not yet bring out those of Gracia from poor, but emotionally they were reinforced by the forms (with one less from 55 'due to the immaturity of Thierry Correia) and the bottom (they were in misery after the goals of Cucho and Angel). Perhaps the point is worth more to Getafe than the feelings left by the penalty committed by Djené, because with what it had cost them to overcome, they go and let themselves be tied …

Gracia is still looking for the identity of her Valencia; something normal with the “clean” that he has done. Eight days, eight eleven has the Navarrese. But at least his own are maturing against adversities, which are many and of various kinds. What did not change Gracia was her drawing; again with Wass and Carlos Soler in the middle. He has little to choose from and less after Kondogbia's scare. Nor did the Navarrese alter his trust in Yunus Musah. The New Yorker takes seven titles to his 17 years. Each youngster has his mentor and the surname Gracia will already be linked to his career.

Getafe does have an old residue and it shows in their line-ups, even though the game got out of hand at 99 '. Only the name of Enes Unal slipped through as a novelty. But Bordalás wanted to leave his touch as a coach with Nyom's position, whom he placed as third center-back. Such a plantation served Bordalás until Valencia went ahead on the scoreboard. Then Nyom in the middle and Darmián on the side. The truth is that Yunus's goal caught Getafe off-foot, never better said, because the counterattack was huge. Until that moment, blue reigned and Cabaco and Cucho could well have overtaken Getafe. But Musah appeared and the script changed.

Musah caught the ball in his own court and started to run. And it didn't stop until the Soria area; before the impotence of Maksimovic, that could not hunt him down. Musah ran at 33.6 km / hour and defined perfectly. Musah, who is negotiating his renewal, thus became the youngest scorer for Valencia in the 21st century, the second in its entire history as Mr. Chip pointed out. Musah is only surpassed by Mena, who scored at a younger age back in 1941.

Valencia had the game under control until Thierry Correia saw two yellow cards in 7 '. Getafe had 35 'ahead to take advantage of their numerical superiority; Valencia, a survival test. Grace rearmed with Racic; Bordalás put wood with Mata, Portillo and Diaby. The game heated up in such a way (it ended with 10 cautioned and 2 sent off) that Figueroa Vázquez was taken by inertia and saw more foul than there was in an action by Arambarri, to which the VAR left the red one in yellow. showed the referee. His continuity was key in what happened next. Getafe, whom Valencia was able to kill in two cons, barked more than bit until the Uruguayan drew his fissile from 35 meters and Jaume left the ball bouncing to Cucho. It was the 86th minute. The game got out of hand in such a way that the ball went from one area to another without barely ticking the clock. The smartest there was Ángel, who dressed up as a Valencia demon with the second blue goal. The Ché already felt dead on the shore, but they still had time to hang a ball. Penalty from Dejé to Maxi and goal from Soler. A breath.

Bordalás: “The penalty? We have to be more skilled”

Game development: “It was a game with alternatives. We started well, we dominated territorially, we tried to play in the Valencia field. In a corner kick in favor, we were not attentive and made it 1-0. We do not like these goals to the coaches They have fast players. We were better with Valencia with 11. They were organized and with precautions, trying to hold the score. Many interruptions and it was difficult to have continuity … One thing that all teams do, not only Getafe. I understand that. “It is legitimate and normal. We have lacked fluidity. In the final moments, we were able to turn it around and in the kickoff we were naive that cost us two points.”

Penalty to Maxi: “I can't tell you. They tell me that there has been a contact outside the area but it has landed inside. There we have to be more skilled: a frontal ball, the ball has bounced and we have to be more skilled.”
