The Getafe suffered a heavy home defeat on Thursday against FC Lugano (2-5) on the second matchday of the Conference League. The match took place at the Coliseum, which reopened its doors for the occasion, although the stadium is still under construction, as OKDIARIO reports.
A struggling defence
According to ABC, Getafe fell apart defensively and were beaten heavily. Europa Press describes a “unrecognisable” Getafe, with a defence full of doubts and an insufficient reaction in the final twenty minutes. Libertad Digital stresses that Bordalás's team missed a lot defensively and ended up being outclassed by their Swiss opponents.
One point in two matchdays
With this defeat, Getafe have just one point from a possible six after two matchdays, according to Europa Press. The Spanish club had opened the scoring but failed to hold onto their advantage, reports ElDesmarque, which calls this defeat a “historic disaster”.
Contrasting reactions
OKDIARIO speaks of a “resounding” fall for José Bordalás's team, which remains “hurt”. 20minutos describes a “catastrophe” for the Coliseum's return to the European stage. FC Lugano, for their part, leave with a clear and valuable win.
