Girona is worth one minute of attack and 90 minutes of trench time

A Girona bled by casualties (12) rose from its ashes and took a victory that heals its wounds and allows it to go into the break with a smile. Getafe, on the other hand, is beginning to show signs of fatigue. It is the team that scores the fewest goals in the League (8), it is the king of draws (7) and it has been defeated where no one had done it before, in the Coliseum. The statistics show that Girona was either lucky or one of the teams with the highest percentage of effectiveness. He shot on goal twice: the first time was the goal and the second was a tame shot by Selvi, in the 86th minute, from 30 meters from Soria’s goal.

Bordalás came out without forwards. That is to say; with Uche in front showing his face and attacking everyone. If between injured, suspended and limping Bordalás had little room for maneuver, Míchel had even less room, with 12 casualties.

Getafe came out brave, applying high pressure and cornering the opponent. The brio lasted ten minutes. The forces gradually balanced and neither of them came to dominate. It was in that period of hesitation and indecision when the most interesting plays happened.

First it was a penalty that was not a penalty, called but not taken. It was the 31st minute. Oriol Romeu blocks Yellu and he falls inside the area. Martinez Munuera was naive and awarded a penalty. After the action was reviewed by the VAR, the referee had to rectify: the foul had occurred outside the area. It was already the 35th minute. Five later, in Girona’s first approach, in the Girona team’s first shot on goal, Yangel Herrera managed to score with a header. The Venezuelan is one of the players who best knows how to appear from the second line, surprising with his stealthy arrivals that the opposing defenses do not detect.

Necessity led Bordalás to put in a pure striker, and Bertug came on after the break. Getafe’s best chance was precisely Bertug, whose shot was miraculously saved by Gazzaniga between the posts.

The game continued to focus on Girona’s area, which knew how to defend itself, while Getafe looked for Gazzaniga desperately but without success.
