On the follow up after Prats failed to hold on to cross from left.
Getafe are proving once
again to be the revelation side this season, and they moved back up to the UEFA
spots with a 1-0 win over Mallorca. With Prats and Abbondanzieri heading up the
Zamora table, a goal-less draw was on the cards. And for the first hour or so
that seemed to be the case, the only real chances a shot from Arango after a
clever flick on by Maxi López, and an effort from Nacho over the bar
after good work by Paunovic.
But a quarter of an hour in
to the second half an uncharacteristic mistake by Prats allowed Nacho to score
what was to be the only goal of the game, the keeper failing to hold on to a
soft cross from Paredes allowing the winger to shoot in to the empty net. After
that the game woke up, Prats making up for his mistake with a save from
Alberto, and Abbondanzieri keeping out a Nunes header at the other end.
Pachón could have increased the lead at the end on a quick breakaway
with a chip which brushed the crossbar, but by then the three points were in
the bag. |
