Getafe love us against Bayern

How unfair is football sometimes! There are no comments for this more true than the party live set last night at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez between Getafe and Bayern Munich.

Yesterday, all Spain was blue. All Spain was Getafe. All Spain was in Madrid set to that which brought against Alaves cuardas Liverpool, also in the UEFA (this time in the final). Yesterday there were differences. The timeless story of David versus Goliath. A modest against a giant German. With a budget of one, the other to form a single player.

And it does not start well. De la Red was sent off in the 5th minute and Getafe had to defend the outcome of the round (1-1 in German camp) tooth and nail to 10 players. But no matter, because more than 40 million people were with them. Getafe was all Spanish team, someone ventured to say very successful.

He dominated the match when in a spectacular career there in the 44th minute against two defenders left the Bayern. I made a mess and ended up going in between the two. Before him, already in the area, another defender and mastodon Kahn. Could have happened against a fellow who was waiting to finish, but decided the best thing: shoot him. And how, gentlemen. The ball ended up in the net and everyone stood up to celebrate the goal that got more so Getafe in the UEFA Cup semifinals (with the score was 0-0 in championship).

And get the second half. Bayern pressed sending balls up. Getafe, defending, they dominated and we let them hirbanar a move worthy of ending up in goal. Cellestini Casquero and controlled the midfield and in more than one occasion the 'Geta' could convict. Braulio was left with the goal for him but had the misfortune of slipping which Abreu in his heyday. Maldita wet grass, think the marbled delanterio, as it was not the only player who had slipped through it. In another contrast, the fierce fight between striker and German defender ended with a scrum between Kahn and defender again left striker Getafe the door for him, only looking to the side that was supposed to have gone the ball and was not. When he realized it was too late to kick the ball and heel he used to try to give the goal on a plate to a teammate was intercepted.

Were minutes of beautiful football. They're big, we thought all. How to handle them at will, being such a small team and they so great. Hitzfield had a serious face. Laudrup also.

Then came the 89th minute there was another, and refuses to Ribery came into the area, who glared at Duck Abbondanzieri could not do anything to keep the score tied and the tie. A goal that took us to the extension.

And if the beginning of the match started badly for Getafe, the principle of the extension was something that even the most optimistic could have dreamed. Casquero invented a shot in front of the area went to the only place I could not reach Kahn : the right post. He knocked on it and then introduced into the goal. A true golazo, comparable only to the first Contra.

Getafe was back ahead in the score and forced Bayern to score a goal to qualify. Lying to the front, suffered another against Getafe which ended Braulio, this time, crushing Kahn and achieving it 3-1 in the mail.

We were all proud of our 'Geta'. The king could not be more ball by television cameras, smiled to the game are marbled. We arrived at the rest of the extension (the rest you just count for tire across the field) with the 3-1 and we all knew was going to win at Getafe. All but one Matías Prats said: "As Bayern go with a home defeat for the van to ride good." "It's going to be," he replied. "I do not like to win a match before have finished. " Not literally, but as if it were.

What bad luck, Mr. Prats. Abbondanzieri had to hear him and got nervous, letting out a ball he had in his hands so that the smart (and desperate) Luca Toni put, just five minutes remaining, the 3-2 on the scoreboard.

It's okay, we think. For these things Braulio got the third goal. Came the final minute of the meeting and Kahn, which may have been his last game as a player, rose to top it off, appealing to the heroic. All claim a foul he committed outside the area but the referee was not and to bring order (let's not crucify him now), and in that same play, a center came to Luca Toni headed in where the duck could not reach .

End of dream Mallard. End of the adventure of UEFA. But not the end of Getafe. Now you know you have a lot of Spanish back (although we all know as just these things up and Alaves not much sympathy as years ago). But here's a fan who already before you go to the First Division has supported, perhaps by a family in this great city.

Thanks for everything, Getafe. And now to the Cup!
