SA Borja Mayoral goals fall into his pockets. Never in his career has he scored so many victories in his first 18 official games of the season. Even in his record season, 2020/21, where he scored 17 goals for Roma and where at this point in the season he has only accumulated 4 goals. Now, the forward of Getafe He has 11, aims to break his records and is also the most decisive in the League.
The goal he scored against Valencia on Friday in the 87th minute helped Getafe win 1-0. Again, thanks to a goal from Borja Mayoral, the team led by José Bordalás scored points. And this is not the first time, as Mayoral has already scored 11 goals this season for the blue team.
He is the leader of the League in that classification before Robert Lewandowski, who with his goals gave 10 points to FC Barcelona, and Jude Bellingham, too decisive but not much: the player of Real Madrid, leading scorer in the League with 11 goals, he delivered 9 points to his team based on decisive goals.
At this rate, Mayoral should surpass his best records in a campaign. So far, with his 11 goals (9 in the League and 2 in the Cup), he has scored more in four months of official competitions than the 10 last season, where he stopped at 9 goals, infected with within a year. Getafe’s problem.
His ceiling is the 17 goals he scored at Roma (7 in the Europa League and 10 in Serie A) while he was on loan from Real Madrid in the 2020/21 season. And in the Spanish League, he has never scored so much in the same campaign. Last year he added 8 in the whole Liga, in his first year at Getafe he accumulated 6 (2021/22) and at Levante he also reached 8 in 2019/20.
From inconsequential to essential with Bordalás
And it is curious that the coach who forgot about him when he ended up on the Getafe bench is now the one who pushed him to his best figures. Bordalás, when he replaced Quique Sánchez Flores last season with seven games remaining, sat the blue forward on the bench in five of the decisive games in which Getafe played for safety.
From being Quique’s fixture Mayoral became a supporting actor with Bordalás, preferring players like Enes Ünal, Jaime Mata or Juanmi Latasa. Even the serious injury to the Turkish striker on matchday 36 did not open the doors to start the team in the last two games. But everything changed one summer when Mayoral had offers to pack his bags. He managed to go to Real Sociedad, a club, as he acknowledged a few weeks ago, where he wants to play one day. In the end he stayed, convinced his coach in the preseason and now enjoys his full confidence.
