García Plaza: "The difference in the match is the finishing"

García Plaza blamed Sevilla's defeat on poor finishing, saying they should have been 2-0 or 3-0 up in the first half before Getafe's strikers punished them.

former Sevilla manager Luis García Plaza analysed his side's 3-1 away defeat to Getafe, their fourth loss of the season. García Plaza felt Sevilla dominated the first 60 minutes but failed to convert clear chances, allowing Getafe back into the match. "When you're much superior to the opponent for 60 minutes, you have to go 2-0 or 3-0 up," he said. "We had three or four clear chances and if you don't score, you give them life. They pushed us, they put their hearts in it and they have brutal strikers in the box."

García Plaza also disputed the 2-1 goal, claiming the linesman had raised his flag for offside but the referee did not whistle. He expressed frustration at a run of controversial decisions over four consecutive matches, though acknowledged that Sevilla's first red card against Athletic Bilbao may not have been justified. He called for his team to show more ruthlessness in front of goal and take responsibility for the collapse after conceding the second goal.
