Getafe Loss & Athletic Win: La Liga Results

The Basques traveled even more motivated than expected after the lack of tact of the Orense mayor, who, upon learning of the matchup for the round of 32 draw, belittled Athletic. “We were hit by Bilbao,” declared Gonzalo Pérez Jácome, who apparently would have preferred to host Real Madrid, Barcelona or Atlético.

Be that as it may, Ourense once again showed its face against a superior rival. Under the downpour and on a grass that turned into growing mud as the minutes passed, the Galicians withstood the inaccurate Basque attacks and were able to reach extra time without the ball having kissed the nets of O Couto’s goals.

The effort on such a heavy terrain took its toll on both teams, but Athletic faced extra time with the idea of ​​resolving the clash as soon as possible to avoid a bigger scare. It cost him. Because the goal didn’t come until the first half of added time had expired. It was in the 106th minute when Jauregizar scored and thus ended the beautiful and unforgettable cup dream of the brave Ourense CF.

Burgos Comeback

Meanwhile, Getafe promised them very happy times in Burgos. After half an hour he found himself in the scenario where, theoretically, he usually handles himself best: preserving the favorable result indicated on the scoreboard after Sancris’ goal.

And, certainly, those of Bordalás did not have much trouble withstanding the timid Castilian attacks. But when the first half was dying, De Burgos Bengoechea awarded a penalty for a fight in the Madrid area. David González executed it successfully, and Getafe was unable to digest the tie either during the break or after the restart.

When both contenders returned to the field, Íñigo Córdoba (28 years old) appeared, an Athletic youth player who has a curious and happy professional relationship with Getafe. Because eight years ago, in 2017, he debuted in the First Division with the Bilbao shirt against the Azulones, and because this Thursday he became the main protagonist of the comeback against the same contender.

In a quarter of an hour, Córdoba took both legs for a walk with judgment and quality. His left foot made it 2-1 in the 57th minute, and in the 73rd minute his right foot definitively sealed the tie. Because also, minutes later, Borja Mayoral wasted a penalty in favor of the visitors. His shot, high, was lost in the icy sky of El Plantío. And another Second team, Burgos, left a First team, Getafe, in the gutter.
