Villarreal, without ‘Champions hangover’ at the Coliseum

Villarreal did not feel the hangover from the Champions League, after their historic pass to the semifinals by leaving Bayern in the gutterand ended his visit to the Coliseum with a victory that allows him to consolidate itself in seventh position in the classification and not lose sight of Real Sociedad, sixth and now six points behind away.

The ‘Submarine’ was imposed on a Getafe, which, for its part, is going to have to keep looking in the rear-view mirror, since the relegation zone is only four points away, that would be three if Cádiz gave the bell on Monday at the Camp Nou.

Nevertheless, Not everything was good news for Unai Emery’s teamsince Gerard Moreno, architect of the victory with a goal and the assistance of the second to Manu Trigueros, had to leave the field of play at match time due to a muscle injury.

Villarreal ate Getafe in the first half, in which they scored their goals. He came out with the intention of not being surprised and in the 7th minute he was already on the scoreboard. A deep ball from Trigueros was received by Alcácer, who put it on a plate to Gerard Moreno so that the ‘7’ got past David Soria.

Almost without time to recover, Getafe conceded the second after a quarter of an hour. The omnipresent Gerard Moreno stole the ball in midfield, advanced a few meters and put it to Trigueros, who once again beat David Soria. 0-2 in a pls plz.

Getafe did not know how to stop the avalanche of yellow football and only a shot by Arambarri that made Rulli shine was his only dangerous approach. On the contrary, Villarreal had more and better options to sentence. But neither Chukwueze, after a cross from Pedraza, nor Alcácer, alone and without a goalkeeper after a pass from Gerard Moreno, were right.

Going through the changing rooms felt much better for Getafe, especially because Quique Sánchez Flores left the line of five in defense in the dugout to bet on a ‘4-4-2’. They were joined by Gerard Moreno’s injury in the 60th minute, which seemed to give wings to the azulón team, which closed the gap in the 65th minute through Enes Ünal after a play by Olivera.
