He was down to 10 men from the 23rd minute, but managed to get a draw at the home of Getafe, Panathinaikos’ Europa League rival, Villarreal (0-0).
Paceta’s team, however, continues to be in a bad -competitive- state, as it is in 12th place in the Spanish league, counting eight points from as many matches, while missing a win for the fourth consecutive game.
The yellow submarine was forced to play with one player less for 70′ due to his suspension Baena, with the international winger getting sent to the locker room early on for elbowing an opponent.
From that point on, the hosts were storming, creating 22 final attempts in the match, without managing to beat him in any of them Jorgensen, who performed nine operations, being the top player on his team.
Thus, the match ended, with the two teams tied without a score.
The Villarreal XI: Jorgensen – Foyt, Albiol, Gambia, Pedratha – Pino, Capu, Parejo, Baena – Sorlot, Morales.
