Luis García Prasad: Despite dominating the first half, the team failed to capitalize on key scoring opportunities.

Following the team's away defeat to Getafe, Luis García Praza reviewed the entire match. He pointed out a significant difference in the team's performance between the first and second halves. Although they dominated the game in the first half, they failed to convert their advantage into goals. In contrast, Getafe gradually improved their attacking efficiency and tempo in the second half, and began to take control of the game.


After the match, Luis García Praza said, "The first and second halves of this game presented completely different situations. We clearly dominated in the first half, but we just couldn't seize the final scoring opportunities, which is exactly what our opponents did better in the second half. They gradually suppressed us with their better performance and higher intensity. It's not easy to maintain dominance for 90 minutes in any stadium."


"In addition, there was a controversial situation during the match where the linesman raised his flag to indicate offside but did not immediately stop the game. This is the fourth consecutive match we have encountered a similar incident. Since the linesman had already raised his flag, he should have stopped the game in time. I cannot be sure whether he had a complete view of the situation on the field at that time. This decision undoubtedly had a significant impact on the course of the game, but we must also accept that our opponents' overall performance in the second half was indeed better than ours."


Regarding the controversial call, Luis García Praza added, "When I saw the linesman raise his flag, I assumed the game was paused and a foul would be called. This situation can easily slow down or even stop the game, but we must also reflect on our own problems."


“I hope that one day in the future, the referee's decisions in the game will be on our side. Ever since that controversial red card against Athletic Bilbao, similar situations always seem to put us at a disadvantage. Now, we can only adjust our mindset, accept the result, and refocus to prepare for the next game.”


“We can’t guarantee a win in every game; sometimes things don’t go as we want. Today, the team’s performance in the second half was clearly not good enough, and the fact that we were able to gain such a big advantage in the first half was somewhat unexpected.”


"The biggest difference between the two sides in this match was their ability to capitalize on their attacks. It is inherently difficult to maintain control of the game when playing away, and today our opponents, with their higher attacking efficiency, were better at converting chances than we were."
