Hi community!
First defeat for Bordalás's men, again lacking in punch, at their stadium. Yangel Herrera took advantage of Girona's only chance in a hard-fought match.
Girona knocked down the Coliseum wall for the first time this season thanks to a goal from Yangel Herrera in the only chance for Míchel's men in a match in which his men had to play 'something else' and suffer a lot to get the victory. Bordalás' men, again with major problems to generate real danger, continue to border on relegation and go into the international transfer window very affected.
The match began with the usual script of the battles at the Coliseum and on an afternoon that was far from pleasant in Getafe. Bordalás went with all his troops up front to look for a rival who was not able to find its identity on the pitch and little by little Míchel's men became entangled in the spider's web.
The visitors, unable to create any danger, suffered their first scare just after the half-hour mark when Martínez Munuera awarded a penalty to Romeu on Yellu. Luckily for the midfielder - who fell asleep near his area - the VAR corrected it and sent it out of play. And although Getafe gave off more of a sense of danger as the clock ticked on, the reality was a reflection of the entire season: a want-to-win situation.
Girona took advantage of this atmosphere of local 'superiority' in the chess game to leave the Coliseum frozen in their first attack. A defensive mismatch, a deep ball from Blind to Bryan, he puts it into the area and Yangel Herrera, a born striker, hammers it with his head. The Girona team 'reminded' their rivals what it was like to hit the ball. One... and into the pot.
The reality was that this Sunday was not the day for Getafe. Not even in their 'ideal zone' (the last 15 minutes, where they had scored 4 of their 8 total goals this season) were they able to find a reward. Milla gave his all to bring light to a team that is slowly approaching darkness after 'missing' the bullet at a Coliseum that sent his team off with a few whistles. And it's only two wins, eight goals, 10 points... and the precipice is very close.
For its part, Girona won gold by being less Girona than ever. Knowing how to suffer, competing like never before, recovering from the countless losses, having as a reward a combination of joy and tranquility after the midweek blow in Eindhoven.
See You soon! 🏐
