Summary and goals of the Valladolid-Getafe of LaLiga

The Pucelano team did not go beyond a draw against Getafe (0-0) and consummated their relegation

Almería’s goal in minute 87 against Espanyol prevented the blanquivioleta from remaining

Real Valladolid consummated relegation by drawing against Getafe (0-0) and not following the rest of the results, in a match in which the Madrid team fulfilled its plans, preventing the locals from playing and, therefore, having goal options.

From the beginning Getafe made it clear that they were in no hurry to play and that the pressure was for those at home. Of course, his coach, José Bordalás. He opted for people from his old guard, like Arambarri, who started as a starter after being infiltrated, since he continues to have ankle discomfort.

But the one who had to be substituted, in the 16th minute, was Real Valladolid’s center-back Javi Sánchez, leaving his place to youth player David Torres. First setback for the blanquivioleta team.

Any detail could decide the game and the haste was evident among the blanquivioletas players, which could lead to disastrous mistakes. They wanted to get ahead on the scoreboard as soon as possible, but the truth is that they found a well-planted and closed defense in front of them.

Real Valladolid was looking for possession of the ball, to get options to reach the opposite area, against an opponent that slowed down the game to the maximum and whose purpose was to manage the time of the game, since the tie served them well, manage the intensity and try to drive the locals desperate in that way.

The effort was, in its entirety, on the white and violet side. But the 39th minute was running and no shot had yet been counted between the three sticks. Not even a single one. Nor by the Madrid team, who swam just enough and kept their clothes.

The only thing that worried the local fans, who were devoted to their team since they left the hotel, was a shot by Aguado from outside the area that went over the crossbar. The one who was able to inaugurate the scoreboard was Jaime Mata, but his shot, from point blank range, was cleared by Masip with a great intervention.

It was the clearest occasion of the first half, which ended with the initial 0-0. Things were going uphill for the people from Valladolid, despite the fact that the public did not stop cheering at any time, unable to break the visiting lines and give three consecutive passes.

After the restart, The course of the game did not change too much, with a Getafe completely closed, aware that one point was enough to save themselves, and a Real Valladolid that was running out of time to maintain the category.

Nor did good news arrive from other fields, so the tension increased with the passing of the minutes. It was essential for Valladolid to reach more and look for chances. For this reason, Aguado tried again from long distance, but his shot went wide.

The blanquivioleta fans could not celebrate the goals of their team, but they did with those of Espanyol, since that supposed that Almería was going down. Meanwhile, the locals, with the departure of Kenedy and Sergio León, managed to worry the Madrid defense more, but without achieving the desired goal.

Valladolid’s options were running out, especially after Almería’s draw, and they only had to score to escape relegation, but that meant Getafe would go down, so Bordalás’s team closed even more to seal their area.

Real Valladolid threw themselves into it, but not even in the minutes of extension could they work the miracle and, finally, they added a new relegation to their history.
