Munir led Getafe’s victory

After being knocked out in the second round in a row in the previous three editions of the Copa del Rey, Getafe won thanks to Munir’s double against an old Diocesan from the 2nd RFEF that provided one of the surprises of the first stage, but this On Tuesday was unable to extend his success and bring the score back to Arroyo de la Luz despite maintaining pressure for most of the game (0-2).

The Cáceres team beat a historic team like Real Zaragoza 1-0. For their part, Getafe had to suffer to make it to the second round when they visited San Roque de Lepe. With this victory, Quique Sánchez Flores’ men broke their losing streak in the second round of the cup and made up for the resounding 5-0 defeat of Atlético Baleares more than a year ago.

Initially, Sánchez Flores chose a very prominent eleven in the return of the official competition. Only four changes from the team that faced San Roque de Lepe in the first round. Kiko Casilla, Aleñá and Seoane fell.

Diocesan came out without complexes in the first 15 minutes of the game where Adolfo Senso’s men pressed several times to try to get ahead on the scoreboard. A providential David Soria (who returned to the Getafe goal) and Portu, author of a dangerous overhead kick caught by the Dioce goalkeeper, shone in those first minutes.

Senso’s men managed to stand in the 25th minute of the first half without goals, a victory; being strong in defense and an impeccable game by Senegalese midfielder Assane, who dedicated himself to stealing possession from Iglesias. At minute 27 came the first yellow card of the game. Djené saw him for the demolition of Chavalés in a three-quarter zone, which required Diocesan medical assistance for that action.

An error in Dioce’s defense caused Munir to open the score (0-1) at 31 of the first half. Munir started in the middle of the field unopposed, to finish on the left from the middle of the area. That’s why Getafe managed to break the tie with that counter-attacking action by the blues, with Munir coming out quickly in a one-on-one, beating Cordero with an accurate shot at the short post.

From there, Getafe began to have some space to play, and Diocesan arrived at half-time needing to hold on to the game. The second half started with no change in the game script for either team.

The second goal from the hands of Munir El Haddadi (0-2) did not take long, ending with a header from the center of the area and the service of Portu from the right. With a perfect and lofted header, which went past Cordero’s stretch, the azulones moved closer to the next round of the Cup.

In the 82nd minute Sahuquillo had to retire to be treated by the medical services, he was bleeding after receiving an unexpected blow to the face from Mata. Minutes before (80′) Diocesan made a triple substitution to try to turn the game around: Javi González, Armenta and Dani Sales left for Dieguito, Manu Martín and Pablo Guerrero.

The 90th minute arrived without the team from Cáceres failing, after several missed shots by Pablo Guerrero, Dieguito and Pablo Margallo. With four minutes of added time, the closing stages of the game served to prove solid competition from Diocesano, who almost managed to surprise on the end of a cross from left-back Del Valle, which hit the crossbar.
