The Mexican defender started in the defeat against Getafe that mathematically sent them to Second.
He Getafe won 1-3 at home Almeriawhom he mathematically sent to Second with a great performance by the Englishman Mason Greenwood, author of a double (m.27 and m.48) and an assist to Jaime Mata, who achieved the final 1-3, after In the first half, the Honduran Choco Lozano equaled the Azulón’s first goal.
The Mexican defender Cesar Montes He started, received a yellow card and came on in the 80th minute instead of Luka Romero.
The Almeria team, although they always tried and never gave up, say goodbye to Primera with five days left to finish a league in which they are bottom, with 14 points, and two seasons after their promotion in 2022, and they do so without having yet been able to win a home game of the 17 played and, for now, with only one victory.
He Getafewho with this victory have 43 points and still have a remote chance of fighting for Europe – with one more game they are 5 points behind Betis -, took advantage of the continuity of errors in defense of the Almeria‘contrasted’ throughout this campaign, like the one that caused the first goal scored by a Greenwood who was the main architect of the Azulona victory.
The Englishman scored the first in the 27th minute and, although in the 41st minute he tied the score Almeria in a good set-piece action with the goal from Honduran Choco Lozano, in the second half Greenwood ‘changed’ the balance with good actions in speed to seal the match, first with his second goal at 48 minutes and then making the 1- 3, assisting Mata in the 61st minute, continuing a great long pass from Diego Rico.
The first half had little football and was only encouraged by Greenwood’s goal and the subsequent tie by Choco Lozano, with excessive concessions on the part of the Almeria to his rival.
José Bordalás’ team, with an advanced defense and with the Paraguayan Omar Alderete leading the charge, found themselves at a Almeria bland and incapable of getting rid of the ‘straightjacket’ that the Getafense team imposed on him in the first minutes, as on one occasion by Juanmi Latasa who went for a corner.
He Getafe, advancing lines, was taking hold in a match where the midfield barely had any impact on the creation of the game. The control was of the visitors and at Almeriastuck behind, had a hard time getting out, which shortly before the first half hour was translated into Greenwood’s first goal after a mistake by the Senegalese Dion Lopy, who lost the ball to Ilaix Moriba as the last defender and he put it to the Englishman to open the scoring.
It was a hard blow to the already weakened reaction capacity of the rojiblancos, who were unable to assimilate it in the following minutes, although in the 31st minute they were able to tie in a counterattack in which Jonathan Viera assisted Adrián Embarba, although he finished off the goalkeeper’s body. David Soria.
He Getafe gave the feeling of being comfortable and Almeria He started to cheer up. Thus, in a rehearsed action, Viera put it to Embarba, who forced Soria to clear the center so that Choco Lozano could achieve the tie. Furthermore, in added time, a free kick from Embarba was headed by Baptistao and Pubill, at the goal’s mouth, sent it over the crossbar.
The start of the second half was a demonstration of the lights and shadows of the people of Almería throughout the season. In a wall between Robertone and Langa, the Mozambican crossed the ball too much and, immediately afterwards, the Getafe I do not forgive. Greenwood received a ball from Diego Rico, from the left, he crossed back and Moriba was about to convert, but Maximiano cleared and the player on loan from Manchester United took advantage of it to turn the game in his favor.
To the Almeria he got into a hurry with the 1-2, but he rushed and the Getafe He lived with superiority against a rival handcuffed by that goal and by the great performance of Mason Greenwood, who was key to the 1-3, by giving a good pass to Mata for him to score the goal.
There was a reaction from the Andalusian team, but from individuality. Lozano, in ’68, tried it, as did Viera later, but without success. The Canarian was sent off for a double yellow in added time of a match in which the Getafe He didn’t want to do more harm and Almeria He was not able to cover up wounds due to the disappointment and suffering, due to relegation, of his fans.
