This Saturday, Getafe achieved its first victory of the season as a visitor, and it did so in the field of Sevilla (0-3) in a match that it dominated from start to finish. Minutes after the match, the Seville club officially announced the dismissal of its coach, Diego Alonso, due to the terrible streak of results.
Alonso, who replaced José Luis Mendilíbar at the beginning of October, has only added five of the twenty-four points in dispute in the eight LaLiga games that he has directed and has had a series of defeats in the Champions League that have eliminated the Sevillistas of all European competition.
In the visitor’s first attack, just after three minutes, the referee considered a handball by Juanlu after Mata’s shot as a penalty, despite the fact that the ball touched the defender’s foot rather than the arm. The maximum penalty was converted calmly by Borja Mayoral through the center of the goal.
Sevilla did not react to the early disadvantage or, rather, they were still diminished by the moral blow they received, which allowed Getafe to dominate the first half at will, with David Soria barely having to intervene in an exit outside the area to cut a preview of En-Nesyri.
The azulones, well planted and making intelligent use of the tactical foul, deactivated any Sevilla attempt to tie and launched increasingly dangerous counterattacks, the first of which Latasa ended with a shot that was too cross, but the next one did find the prize of the goal.
Pedrosa gave a short ball to Soumaré at the start, the Frenchman brandished it under pressure from Greenwood, who stole using his size and made a deep pass towards Mata, who stood in front of Dmitrovic and outwitted him on his way out with a sharp touch that ended up confusing the goalkeeper when it touched Juanlu.
Januzaj, who had replaced Kike Salas at half-time, headed a cross from Ocampos wide in what was until then (min. 51) Sevilla’s clearest chance, although Latasa’s position was much clearer, who sent his shot. to the clouds, after another childish mistake by Soumaré (min. 68).
The sentence of the match also came as a result of a penalty, after another handball by Juanlu in his attempt to defend a lateral foul, which Greenwood converted with class, as he put it next to the post with his left foot when he had taken several ball actions standing with the right.
