The hosts tried to impose their game, but Bordalas’ wards completely controlled the course of the meeting, especially in the first half. Getafe won more duels in the opponent’s half of the field and created more opportunities in the opponent’s penalty area. Athletic Bilbao almost did not threaten the guests’ goal: the only real chance came in stoppage time after Sunset’s shot, but Soria blocked the ball.
The match was also permeated with emotional moments. Athletic came out in black armbands in honor of Jose Mari Argoytia, who passed away recently, while Getafe supported their player Da Vinci after he underwent meniscus surgery.
The victory allowed Getafe to catch up with Athletic in the standings and climb just outside the La Liga prize pool. Bordalas said it was his first win against Valverde in 10 attempts and the team was enjoying the game and the team spirit.
