Chronicle

Getafe, tied to a fantastic defensive job, was about to deactivate Sevilla, who pulled off the squad and Lamela's great moment to score the winning goal in the extra time and put an end to the hopes of Michel's team. It is what has to have a great staff. Julen Lopetegui pulled all the possible elements and sang bingo in the extension time, in the 93rd minute. The fairest thing would have been a draw, but the quality of the Sevilla players ended up unbalancing the clash, with Rafa Mir and Lamela, two signings, of protagonists. With the victory, Sevilla is the leader tied on points with Atlético. Victories of this type tend to forge champion teams, although there is a world ahead to gauge the global aspirations of this Seville.

Surely Míchel will want to change Getafe's face on some issues.

What is evident is that the technician will not transform the good that this team already had, almost as standard.

A set very well placed in the field that made pressure and intensity its main weapons.

All very similar to the Bordalás era.

And he did it without being able to count on elements such as Cucurella, who was not summoned while his march to Brighton was completed.

It was an exercise of insistence against an opponent who offered five acceptable minutes and then was erased.

Or it was erased.

Sevilla, who are building a great team, inevitably crashed against Getafe's excellent approach.

Only in the first forays of the game did he find a way out on the left wing, with Acuña as the protagonist. An oasis in the desert of the game that came later. With Jordán, Papu and Óscar very well closed by the Getafe midfielders, Sevilla only lived off the job of Fernando and some fleeting appearance of Suso. Very little, rather nothing, for a team that came to the Coliseum with the intention of following in the wake of Atlético. It was Getafe who arrived the most in an acceptable first half, although it is also true that despite the mobility of players like Sandro or Aleñá, they did not create real danger for Sevilla. The only clear option for the entire first half was a center to the small area of ​​Papu that Koundé did not reach by millimeters, still a Sevilla player waiting for Chelsea to make the great offer that Andalusian managers are so eager for.

The rest was a hymn to the despair of the Lopetegui players, lost in a football on foot, without unchecking or change of pace. It was all so predictable that Getafe lived very comfortable, being better in general calculations than their rival. Of course, between the two teams they did not count a shot on goal in the first 45 minutes.

The game kept its bland tone in the second half. The first shot between the three sticks came in the 70th minute, by Idrissi. The Sevilla winger was one of the resources used by Lopetegui to change the face of his weak party. Sevilla has many resources. Rafa Mir made his debut and Lamela and Rakitic entered. The best chance came in a Diego Carlos header that forced Soria to a great save. Koundé had a new chance from set pieces, the only resource with which Sevilla seemed to create danger for this solid Getafe. Only in the extension, between Mir and Lamela came the Andalusian winning goal. Mir got into the area and shot the stick. The Argentine added his third goal in the League by collecting the rejection.Something that triggers the benefits of Sevilla and that frustrated this good Getafe who had a point in his pocket. In a sigh, everything disappeared for the Madrid team.
