Impact Cuenca was having a nice performance until the 32nd minute, when he was sent off due to a reckless challenge.

Newcomer Gaston Alvarez could be in line to make his La Liga debut filling in for Cuenca.

Impact Cuenca was rock-solid at the heart of the defense, keeping opposing forwards at bay and pacing his side in clearances. The centre back wasn't credited with the clean sheet though, as he was subbed off in the 73rd minute for tactical purposes. With 19 clearances over his last three starts, Cuenca will probably have a lot of work coming his way during Jan. 2 home match against league leaders Real Madrid.

Logs two tackles in draw Cuenca put one shot on target and made two tackles (one won) during Thursday's 1-1 draw with Granada.
Impact Cuenca has played the rare part of a Getafe defender who only has one yellow card over his eight appearances this season, and he's even done a fair bit of defensive work with 17 tackles and 39 clearances made. Should his club ever start winning games, Cuenca may be a valuable part of that outcome. For now, he'll focus on Sunday's visit from Espanyol, which have scored 11 goals in 11 games this season.
