Lafita leads Getafe win against Villarreal

Jumpy start

The clash between Getafe and Villarreal started with high speed and tension, with two teams that began the game with high intensity and ready to take the lead as soon as possible. The 'castellonenses' side entered the match with clearly defined ideas, which enjoyed two chances to get ahead on the scoreboard. Shortly after the start, Trigueros smashed the ball against the crossbar and Jonathan Dos Santos missed a one-on-one opportunity against Guaita.

Lafita breaks the match

Despite the fact that everything seemed to point to Villarreal scoring the first goal of the game, Lafita appeared to break the clash. The Getafe footballer came up with an outstanding play to beat Iraola and place the home team ahead on the score.

Alvaro Vazquez kills off

The goal could not be any sweeter for the Getafe team, which was released of the initial nerves and took control of the match. Villarreal faced the opposite situation, which could not react and lost strength in attack. The half time break was also useless for the home side, which once again suffered Lafita’s qualities. The 'Aragones' dribbled through the left side and crossed the ball into the box and extended the advantage.

Changing places

Marcelino's men could not find the way to Guaita’ nest and the coach opted for Bakambu and Dennis Suarez to turn the scoreboard. However, the Spaniard plans did not work out and the reaction of the castellonenses never get finished.

Mario's injury

The bad news piled up for Villarreal which lost another footballer, joining the list of injured players. Mario Gaspar could not finish the match due to a thigh problem and closed a difficult morning for Villarreal against a great Getafe led by Lafita.
