Direct Narration and statistics
The goal is in the blood. It is pure genetics. Luis Suárez knows it well, a guy who had been running around leaden on the grass as if he were walking light years from his own shadow. He did not even need to jump to head that sharp final dart to the heart of Míchel, to the heart of Getafe, with which he lifted Atlético with the time almost fulfilled. With two hammer blows at the Coliséum, the Uruguayan rose up as that infinite scorer who always has the trigger ready even if it seems to be jammed. He justified the rojiblanca rebellion in that second act, against a rival already outnumbered, after an unexpected blur from Oblak. With a double he resolved the rojiblanca drought and increased the crisis of the locals, who still do not know what it is to score in this League.
And it is that the records (positive and negative) have the particularity that the more striking they are, the more they get fat, the closer they are to being beaten. The one of Getafe against Atlético, who added 19 games without scoring a goal, it was difficult for him to gain even more weight. And it happened at the Coliséum, after 19 games, after almost a decade, that the boys in the azulona shirt were able to cross the red-and-white goal. For this, the stars aligned themselves in such a way that they even left the infallible
Jan Oblak clouded.
. On the way to halftime, the Slovenian goalkeeper rushed his area to try to embrace a ball rained from the sky. But even he is not free of smudges. The ball slipped from his hands as if he were catching trout in his native Slovenia. The colophon was missing. Another center, this one from

, which smashed it against the post and Oblak, disoriented, looking towards his own goal, ended up pushing the ball. Something for the history of the azulón box, which broke a streak of almost 1,800 minutes by hitting its head against the same wall. At least Míchel, who had already dismounted Simeone in charge of Olympiacos, has something to boast about.
Atlético landed at the Coliséum looking different, trying to regain the lost connection with the goal, after two games without seeing the door. He made the Cholo mutate to his team, recovering the classic defense of four, with Lodi and Trippier on the wings. With Correa, Griezmann and Luis Suárez trying to put an end to that unexpected drought that kept the rojiblanco spirit restless. In that first act, the control was rojiblanco, with Herrera matching the nervous impulses of his own. However, he barely managed to scare David Soria, who already embittered the last visit, with that shot from Dembélé that never got to enter. He did not do it until after half an hour, when Djené's pulse trembled and Suárez found one of those balls that he would end up in his formidable outcome of the duel.Although this time he found the gloves of Soria and Correa, who was sniffing blood, he ran into Iglesias, who permanently lowered the blind.
Because Getafe, despite the numbers, with five defeats in their five games, did not show an aspect of dying at any time. Although the control was rojiblanco, between Aleñá, Mata and Macías threw themselves on the rival area with decision. What's more, Macías, a Mexican striker with good manners, threw into the well an opportunity that would have advanced the end of that getafense scoring curse against Atlético. In the midfield, the Portuguese Florentino raised his voice for Míchel's men, who entered the locker room with the strange sensation of being ahead on the scoreboard (second goal of the season).
Atlético tried to untangle his feet and thought he knew how he had to do it. The rojiblancos started impetuously, whose best argument for a long time was a whip from Griezmann that the squad whistled. The Frenchman, once again a starter, this time behind Suárez, is following a re-acclimatization process that is slower than Simeone would have liked: with him on the pitch his team was unable to score.
It was a little over an hour that Antoine remained on the grass. Without Joao Félix, suspended, Matheus Cunha was presented as the best resource to pursue another comeback. And in those, Suárez sent a header to the crossbar. And in those Savic warned with another head. And in those same, Aleñá nailed the tacos to Cunha himself and, VAR by means of, he ended up expelled. And in those, Soria tried to contain the avalanche of Atlético, staged in two shots by Correa. And in those, as he has always used to, Luis Suárez burst in thunderously to sheathe that outburst towards the tie with a left foot. And in those, when the duel was hidden behind the mountains, he headed the net, without jumping, the pinnacle of a triumph that allows Atlético to regain vibrations. Because sometimes you don't have to jump to get higher. Suarez knows it well.
