Valencia player ratings, it had to be Gayà | OneFootball

José Gayà’s season took another twist as the captain struck against Getafe, lifting Valencia to a clean sheet and three points. He will miss the Espanyol match through suspension.

According to AS, Dimitrievski was assured on set plays, while Foulquier was tidy and Copete well positioned. César Tárrega’s troublesome left knee forced him off before the break, a blow for Corberán, with tests to determine the damage.

Pepelu dropped into centre back and kept it simple, and Santamaría slotted into midfield alongside Ugrinic. In the first half Danjuma carried the threat, his cross saw Djené hit his own bar and he drew a booking for Domingos Duarte.

Once Diego López was introduced, Rioja moved to the left and helped launch the move that ended with Ugrinic supplying Gayà for the goal. The captain’s finish underlined his level.

Beltrán grafted at defensive set pieces but was less sure in possession. Hugo Duro endured a difficult afternoon at the Coliseum and never had a clear chance.

Ugrinic was withdrawn soon after his assist. Guerra entered with focus and industry, Sadiq was booked almost immediately, linked well with Diego López and tried his luck from the edge, Iranzo helped close the game out, and Diego López remained decisive.
