Rayo and Getafe played this Saturday in a complex derby that will not go down in the annals of history, a match that ended 0-0. Neither team was able to break through on goal difference in a rivalry where there were too many fingers on one hand to account for the scoring chances that occurred, prioritizing the strong defenses and the little danger generated in both areas .
The strap Rayo was punished a bit more because it still didn’t open up a gap in the relegation zone, a hell that the Vallecas team sees too close, which still has not been strong at home. While Getafe with a point scratch remain close to the European places, the dream of the Bordalás team, complicated but not impossible. Rayo dominated the game more and had some clear chances seen, but always running on defensive web set by Bordalás with five players behinda solid wall that the team from the strip could never overcome.
Furious speed at the beginning of the game, a mirage. In fact, in the first five minutes Rayo had two very clear chances to score, both with the same protagonist, Trejo, but he appeared dumbfounded from the front.
Getafe, with a very conservative strategy with five defenders, focused their whole game on not losing position and trying to create fast action looking for Mata.
Rayo clearly dominated the first half with a possession percentage of 74% and played a large part of the first forty-five minutes with their defenses on the edge of the center of the field.
Lightning but it’s not possible. At the start of the second half, he ordered again and He enjoyed clear chances like the one from Unai López, who finished off a deflected ball from the front that caressed the post.
Getafe, when they advanced their lines, improved their game, especially when Maksimovic and Luis Milla They started making their classmates ‘dance’. However, Rayo continued to take the offensive initiative. Camello had the goal in the 61st minute, but he was consistently denied in front of goal, as was Rayo’s entire forward list, a handicap that was punishing badly.
In the final minutes Rayo resigned themselves to leaving with just one point but did not let up the pressure, entering the green Falcao and Crespo. Nothing, everyone separated from the goal. Already in the final stages, Getafe is the only chance half clear of Latasa’s bootsbut the 0-0 did not move, a true reflection of the complex derby seen in Vallecas.
