Getafe punish RCD Mallorca for rookie mistakes and take giant step towards Europe
Getafe 3-1 RCD Mallorca
Getafe took a major step towards European qualification at the Coliseum over a struggling Mallorca side that found no purchase in the game after their early mistakes. Jose Bordalas is now closing in on a second European qualification with Getafe in hi second spell.
The visitors showed ambition early on, going direct and pushing high. It led to the first chance for Zito Luvumbo, but he couldnât get hold of his shot after good work from Jan Virgili. Both Bordalas and Martin Demichelis had started youngsters in the game, with Damian Caceres in midfield for the home side, and Luis Orejuela at left-back for the visitors, and the first goal came from a mistake by the latter.
A missed clearance by Orejeula allowed Allan Nyom to build up speed, and his ball across the box was unopposed until Martin Satriano met it at the back post. Crowd favourite, villain and at times clown, chants of âNyomâ rang around the Coliseum on a rare start for the 38-year-old Cameroonian.
Mallorca are not the first time to struggle with finding their rhythm against Getafe, and the islanders were misplacing passes from time to time. A corner after half an hour nearly saw them level though, with Vedat Muriqi cracking the underside of the bar with a header that gave the away side some encouragement. Another swirling set piece caused problems for the Getafe defence, before a clever Muriqi touch sent Luvumbo racing in behind again, but did just enough to ease him out of the chance.
