Getafe drew 1-1 in their visit to Tenerife in a pre-season friendly held on Wednesday night. The blue team equalised in the 55th minute after trailing at half-time.
Getafe salvaged a 1-1 draw in their trip to Tenerife in a friendly match preparing for the upcoming season. The match, held at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López stadium, served as a test for both teams in their preparations.
The Tenerife team took the lead in the 38th minute when V. Moreno beat the Getafe goalkeeper. The goal came during a period of local dominance, and Getafe failed to react before half-time, heading into the dressing rooms with a 1-0 deficit.
In the second half, José Bordalás' side came out with greater intensity. The reward came in the 55th minute when Getafe found the equalising goal. Although the source does not specify the scorer, the blue team managed to level the score and restore parity to the match.
The final score of 1-1 reflects the historical balance that has existed between both teams. In the last four direct encounters, the record is perfectly even: one victory for each team and two draws. This precedent suggested a competitive match, which indeed it was.
Both teams entered the match with high morale after winning their respective last games. Getafe, who have yet to begin their campaign in LaLiga, are using these friendlies to get match fit and adjust their playing system. The blue coach, José Bordalás, was able to test different tactical variations and give minutes to less regular players.
The match, part of the pre-season club friendly calendar, was played behind closed doors or without spectators, although the source does not specify. What is certain is that Getafe continues its preparation for the start of the league competition, which will begin in the coming weeks.
For Getafe, this draw represents a good test against a Second Division rival that is also in a preparation phase. Pre-season is the time to correct mistakes and sharpen their aim ahead of official matches. The blue team will need to continue working on their finishing and defensive solidity, key aspects in any competition.
Getafe's next commitment is yet to be confirmed, but the club will continue with its plan of friendly matches to arrive in optimal condition for the start of LaLiga. The Getafe fans hope to see their team competitive from day one.
