The first game of the La Liga this season was really dramatic. Teams could score only one goal but there were many chances to score more.

 

Red card in the first minute

It was impossible to start the game at a normal rate. Keep in mind that Getafe and Valencia are very big opponents in La Liga. Getafe became more powerful in the last few years and took the spot of Valencia in the leadership. It was a big challenge for Valencia to win the game against Getafe. The last few years, the games between Valencia and Getafe were indeed very interesting. The same happened yesterday night. Valencia started the game with the attack and they could open the score-line in the first 10 seconds. After a few seconds, Valencia’s player fouled Getafe’s midfielder. The referee decided to award the foul but he has not even shown a yellow card to the Valencia’s player. In just one minute, the VAR system asked the referee to double check the moment. After the VAR check, the referee said that it was a big mistake for a red card. Guilammon got a red card and he was sent from the pitch in the first minutes. In just 10 minutes, Valencia decided to start more pressure on the defensive line of Getafe. That’s why Valencia got right to kick the penalty. It was obvious that Guedes was fouled in the penalty box. Valencia opened the score-line in the first half and kept the result until the end of the game.

 

Until the end of the game

Valencia could keep the score until the end of the game. Getafe could attack more in the second half but they failed to score goals. Keep in mind that the player of the game was the Georgian goalkeeper, Mamardashvili. It was his debut in Valencia and made an unbelievable save in the last minute of the game.
