Girona will fight for promotion to the Primera Division with Rayo Vallecano in the final of the “play-off”. Andoni Iraola’s team won again tonight in Leganés (1-2) and confirmed the classification, which was already well on track after the 3-0 first leg. Tonight Leganés came out very strong, looking for a comeback, and immediately advanced (1-0, min. 12, Róber Ibáñez), but little by little Rayo has been slowing down the strength of the locals, until to the point that in the second half he managed to get back on the scoreboard.
First with the tie, which came by an own goal from Sergio (1-1, min. 67), which already left the classification very expensive for Rayo, and shortly after, with the goal of Andrés (1-2 , min. 80), which ended the match definitively. Rayo, between one goal and the next, lost to Álvaro García due to injury, who retired on a stretcher with a broken shoulder, which will make him lose the final.
With Rayo’s classification, which was sixth, Girona, fifth ranked at the end of the League, will have the field factor in their favor. This means that the first leg of the final will be played next Sunday in Vallecas (9pm), and the return leg will arrive in Montilivi on Sunday 20 (9pm).
