Getafe-Girona de Liga: Time.news, goals and result

GIRONAGirona has received warnings all week. What if he played fantastically well, what if the great triumph at the Cathedral, what if he still had options to qualify for European competitions, what if there were footballers who would go to the Spanish national team… It was all praise, after two consecutive victories that had catapulted the team into a fictitious tranquility. In Getafe, where they could have taken a giant step towards permanence, the only real goal of the season, against a direct rival, they suffered a major blow: a 3-2 defeat, fueled in the first half ominous “We can’t just get into it when everything is almost lost,” said Borja García at the end of the game.

Míchel will have to seriously analyze why Girona disappears when there are many things at stake. It happened in Cádiz three weeks ago and has been repeated at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. Because beyond the relevant analysis, there is an obvious competitive disconnect if you compare some matches. Maybe also some relaxation, after the good results. And few answers when things go wrong: Madrid’s superiority on the field has not been countered until there was no other choice and the damage was already done.

They have let slip a magnificent opportunity, since in case of victory they would have taken an advantage over Getafe of eleven points. Suddenly, the difference is only five. And next week, Atlético de Madrid visit Montilivi. On an auspicious day to fully strengthen the mental aspect, the team has come out absolutely numb and unrecognizable. After a quarter of an hour they were already losing by two goals and had thrown in the towel at half-time.

‘Goal average’ salvat

Risking the ball’s departure has meant more than one setback this course. But Míchel won’t move from here and he really doesn’t have to, if he believes in it. The players have enough experience to work out what the right limit is, although a misunderstanding between Gazzaniga and Santi Bueno in the second minute doesn’t make it seem so. Getafe recovered the ball and Enes Ünal scored the first.

The Turk extended the score after an absurd penalty by Javi Hernández. Girona’s defense has made waves everywhere, unable to detect the marks due to the mobility of the local attackers. Munir, Mayoral and Ünal didn’t stop offering alternatives for their team and ended the thrashing with a kick from Mayoral before the stoppage time. A very hard blow.

The match was cut short. Because since he was there, Girona has taught a little self-love. It has reduced the difference thanks to the goals of Castellanos and Miguel Gutiérrez and the fact that the Madrid team did not have the same tension. The only positive thing is that it has saved the goal averagea sad way to celebrate the centenary in Primera.
