Getafe vs Elche Review: A Valuable Gift
Elche has just had a surprising 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid, the team ranked 3rd in the table. A few days earlier, Sebastián Beccacece also excellently defeated Vallecano knock-out with a score of 4-0.
As impressive as that, but the past two triumphs could not help Elche escape the scythe of death. With only 19 points, 16 points less than the safe area while the season has 4 rounds left, Elche has officially boarded the train back and forth to the 2nd division.
At this point, the remaining rounds were only of procedural significance for Elche. And that is the reason why Elche was accepted by Getafe to 1 draw when the two teams faced each other tonight.
Getafe is currently 3rd from the bottom. The blue team is in desperate need of a win to get rid of the group holding the red light. Meeting the bottom team and being as motivated as Elche was like a gift to Getafe. If you can't pocket 3 points, Getafe should blame themselves.
