With quite stable performance this season, with nine wins and four draws, Valencia has the right to be confident and dream of three points away. They had an even clear advantage when in the 25th minute, Getafe player Arambarri was sent off.
However, coach Marcelino and his team could not take advantage of the opportunity to play with one more player. Despite controlling the ball 68% of the match and putting pressure on goalkeeper V. Guaita's goal, the most important thing is that the goal has not yet reached Valencia.
In a less predestined competition day, the "bat wings" took turns wasting the opportunity to eat significantly. On the other side of the battle line, the god of luck is somewhat biased to the home team, especially very favorable Markel Bergara when he was twice giving the opportunity to score. The first is the tape down after the break of the ball of Gabriel Paulista and the second is a long shot to score points somewhat unlucky in the 66th minute, when the ball beat the defender number 5 of the visitors, changing the direction to the goal, opening the score for Getafe.
For the remaining time, Valencia were determined to find an equalizer but failed. They had to accept a final loss of 0 -1.
empty-handed in this important match, Valencia stepped on the rankings, however, their gap with the top team was increased to 5 points, to miss the opportunity to narrow the gap with Barca.
