Atletico Bilbao have opened the 2024/25 season with an early kickoff. Playing against a somewhat stubborn side in Getafe it's safe to say it's not going to be easy to get a win in the game. Although they started off very well and got an early goal thanks to Oihan Sancet, they could not maintain the dominance because in the second half, Getafe leveled up thanks to a Chris. Uche header.
Right now Atletico Bilbao seem a bit shaky, making mistakes and looking like they have lost the confidence they began with in the first half and if care is not taken, Getafe may take the lead and if that should happen, it will be disastrous and disappointing because they have managed to go 19 games at home without a loss so losing will break that record and they will have to start the beginning of the season with a loss and if you ask me, that's not a good way to start.

Bilbao had to be satisfied with sharing points with Getafe. Although this result doesn't seem like a surprising result because most meetings between these two teams always result in a draw. And it happens over and over again. I don't understand it. But usually Bilbao can always show more quality than this but against Getafe they always can't do much. But getting 1 point is not a bad start but it is not good enough. Grin

Now Betis' match against Girona is underway and the second half will start again in the next few minutes. but the score shows that Betis is still ahead with a score of 1-0. It seems like Girona haven't found their best form yet.

I think Getafe are more satisfied with the draw than the hosts because you could see how elated they were when the ref blew the whistle to signal the end of the game. Anyways, let's just chalk their performance as a warm up for the both sides being that it's their first game of the season and it's normal for these things to happen.
Girona were not any different as they too settled for a 1-1 draw even though Betis werr the first to draw blood.
In all, it was a very entertaining game for a season opener as the two sides gave as good as they got but I'm hoping we'd see something better from the two sides in their next respective games.

Athletic Bilbao lost 2 points by drawing with Getafe and I hope this shock will bring them back to their senses. Getafe maintained this by drawing with Uche and they left the match with 1 point. I think this was a right move as much as they were happy because Bilbao was clearly a superior team to Getafe. The other match in La Liga was between Betis and Girona, Girona forced a draw in the 72nd minute and the match ended in a draw. I think Girona will be further away this year than last year

Girona will find it a bit difficult to cope with pressure of this season as they will be competing in another competition which is the Champions league. Although I had expected them to win their opening match of the season but unfortunately they settled for the draw. Since it was their first match of the season and they were playing at away I don't think the result they got was that bad. Real Betis were also very prepared not to disappoint their fans in their opening game of the season in their home. Both teams should be happy with the draw. Girona even did good by getting a point at away. We will start knowing the full strength of Girona this season after at least 5 games of the season. But for a club like Girona to get an away point in the first fixture at away is a good result.
