Getafe 3-1 Valencia

I know it looks like I'm only updating properly when we win, but that's just how my schedule works out. Honestly..

Anyway, after David Villa gave Valencia the lead, Manu del Moral struck back before adding a second before the break. Pedro Leon, in a wonderful performance, hit a superb free-kick to make it 3-1, and thus it ended.

An excellent team performance with no real weak links. Valencia's defensive frailties were exposed and utilised, while the man-marking and closing down play in the second period was superb from our team.

A well-deserved victory that puts us on six points. Having seen this fixture arrangement at the start of the season I'd have looked for six or seven from these fixtures - probably seven, truth be told - but this is nonetheless a good start.

Next: Zaragoza away.

  2. Hi,

    Thanks very much for your interest! Sorry there haven't been many updates for a while but I'll provide one for the Mallorca match this weekend.

    I have been to the Coliseum twice - for the match against Bayern Munich, and the 3-0 win over Osasuna at the end of last season. I will probably be over again sometime soon.

    I started following Geta in December 2006 and I am now addicted to the club. If you followed since 2B that means you saw the games at Las Margaritas? I don't know too much about the old days, except that Getafe CF is a continuation of the old Club Getafe Deportivo.
