Junior was not at his best in the first half i at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez. The ex-Betis player, who started because of Jordi Alba's injury, did not find his place in the first 45 minutes of the game.
Both Angel and Damian Suarez targeted Junior in the first half. After committing lots of fouls. he could have even been booked and the half-time interval was great for him.
He was much more settled in the second half. Aware of his importance not only in defence, but also in attack, Junior even decided to go up towards Getafe's box.
Junior was clever and he ran in to anticipate a possible rebound when he saw Carles Perez shoot. The defender followed in and anticipated the mistake.
David Soria, who had saved aGetafe previously, erred at the worst possible moment. The goalkeeper could not hold onto the ball and Junior came in to tap home the rebound.
