Villarreal builds muscle – AS.com

The game for fifth place reaffirmed Villarreal as a better team than Getafe, assures him a place for the Europa League and keeps him hoping to get into the Champions shortly after those upstairs are neglected: Sevilla and Atlético.

Calleja announced that they were going to war. The Villarreal coach's prediction might seem exaggerated, but it is certain that there are fights in which fewer blows are received than those charged by the yellow players in the first quarter of an hour, eight, some endangering the rival's tibia (Anguissa) and continuity on the author's field (Olivera).

Bordalás opted for the scheme of five midfielders he used against Real Madrid at Di Stéfano, betraying his non-negotiable 4-4-2 for years. The substitution of Ángel the day that there were no more forwards available from the first team already smells of a broken relationship between coach and player.

After twenty minutes there was no record of a shot at any door. Ontiveros was the first to test, from a distance in 23 ', not leaving his missile too deviated. A tremendous shoe that could well have unseated the ball.

Getafe, in addition to leaving with sharp studs, advanced defense and entered by band through its sides, especially Olivera. A header by Maksimovic in 30 'and a crooked shot by Arambarri in 38' were the greatest threat to Asenjo.

The reading of the first part was for preschool children: the best occasion was for Villarreal but the domain (overwhelming) corresponded to Getafe.

Villarreal, proven that it was impossible with the ball led to the azulona area, chose to put every foul they made in the center of the field in the area, and so more came and made Getafe think.

The pitcher was broken between Pau Torres, who stole; Cazorla, who attended; and Moi Gómez, who took advantage of all the good that his teammates had done, faced Soria and looked for the penalty that the goalkeeper did. It was the 63rd minute. Cazorla shot in the 66 'and scored. 0-1. Villarreal, more fifth than before reaching the Coliseum. With the Europa League in hand and with the Champions at hand in case there are clueless above.

A arreón of Villarreal was giving the victory to Getafe, but without forgetting that after the 70th minute each team had only finished once between the three suits.

Bordalás rummaged through corners that were forgotten and brought out Portillo, Hugo Duro…. In the 80 ’, Portillo put the ball in the center of the small area, where there should always be at least one central defender and there were Hugo Duro and Ángel unmarked. He scored first, bored with loneliness.

But another penalty, committed in 83 'by Portillo, whistled in 85' by Estrada at the invitation of the VAR and marked by Cazorla in 86 ', put the 1-2. What a last ten minutes! The tip was put by Rubén Peña in 93 ’, at the pleasure and in the center of Gerard Moreno.
