0-1: Chivas peeked at Getafe’s wound

With a goal from Fernando Beltrán, Chivas Guadalajara beat Getafe 0-1 in the first of two friendlies they will play in Spain and dug into the wound of a flawed team unable to correct their Liga ailments with a lack of play and worrying that purpose.

In a semi-empty stadium, the public’s screams echoed louder. And, in the same way that the Getafe fans dismissed their coach from the Liga with “Quique go away now”, against Guadalajara isolated but too loud chants were heard again in the amplitude of the cement of the Alfonso Pérez Coliseum .

The Mexican team, led by a former Getafe player like Veljko Paunovic, showed a well-organized team despite having two important absences, their international Roberto Alvarado and Alexis Vega, forced to miss to face a complex rivalry against one of the rockiest of LaLiga Santander.

Getafe, in fifteenth place before the World Cup break, are in poor health in the table but have players of proven quality who should push the Madrid team towards more important goals than survival.

His coach, Quique Sánchez Flores, did not think about his line-up and built a team where he can play any Sunday in LaLiga Santander. With the exception of Damián Suárez and Enes Ünal (both with physical problems), and without internationals Stefan Mitrovic and Nemanja Maksimovic, Quique’s remaining eleven could give Chivas Guadalajara a scare.

With names like Luis Milla, Omar Alderete, Portu, Carles Aleñá, Munir El Haddadi, Djené Dakonam and Borja Mayoral, Getafe clearly dominated the first twenty minutes, where they enjoyed three chances: Munir, with a shot from outside the box area saved. by goalkeeper Miguel Jiménez, and Luis Milla and Jaime Mata, who missed a free-kick and a shot that went into the side of the net.

After those failed attempts, Guadalajara managed to threaten Getafe’s dominance and for the rest of the first action they stepped around the goal defended by David Soria. Although they did not create chances, at least with Fernando Beltrán leading the way, and Isaac Brizuela inspiring on the right wing, they created some concern at the back of Quique’s men.

The reaction of the Mexican team has continued with the continuation. Apart from the threat from Aleñá, who unsuccessfully tried from outside the area, he lived his best minute of the rivalry with a more vertical football that had its reward in the 66th minute, when Fernando Beltrán finished a cross from the left wing of the net. Ormeno.

Guadalajara’s goal fueled Getafe’s push, which melted like sugar and managed to grab a second with a shot from the penalty spot by Cisneros. Only Portu, with ten minutes to go, had an equalizer in his boots, but Jiménez intervened again triumphantly.

In the end, the club led by Fernando Hierro easily withstood Getafe’s last attempts and started the first of the two warm-up matches it will play in Spain with a solvent victory to prepare for the start of the closing of the tournament. His next goal, to beat Athletic in San Mamés. On the contrary, Getafe, crestfallen, left with another defeat in another friendly: after losing in Valladolid 1-0, they repeated their score and bad image.
