Athletic ratings: Yeray impresses on return at Getafe | OneFootball

Yeray was Athletic’s standout in Getafe, back in the starting line-up after 10 months of suspension and showing no trace of rust. As reported by as.com, the match became a scrap shaped by Bordalás’s dense set-up.

Simón produced two fine stops from Satriano and Liso, yet one went in via a Vázquez rebound. Areso took over from the makeshift right-back Vivian, and Satriano escaped him for 2-0.

Vivian finished centrally and was steady. Laporte stayed focused and attacked with intent, appealing for a penalty after a knock from Milla that was not enough. Yuri showed drive and protested a booking, while Rego struggled to stand out amid Bordalás’s web.

Jauregizar worked hard without sparkle, his influence dipped when his game did not flow. Sancet, so decisive against Betis, was quiet here aside from two through balls with no end product.

Iñaki Williams had an angled effort and little else, then moved up front after the interval. Berenguer headed wide from a Sancet service and later lifted one over as a false nine. Guruzeta failed to meet Yuri’s best delivery and was replaced at half-time by Nico Williams, who returned after a month and a half of external pubalgia treatment, producing a dribble, a nutmeg and a trademark cross.

Galarreta was held back for the second half by Valverde and could not change the course. Vesga’s experience was trusted, but this was no stage for flourishes.
