The winning goal was scored by Stuani, of course. Or does anyone think that the Uruguayan tip has stopped making a difference? The 7 white-and-red took advantage of a pass from Juanpe to head a strategy play, with the first part agonizing, to calm the mood and get rid of the personal thorn that had left him the fact of miss a penalty minutes earlier. Strange in him, a specialist who since his arrival in Montilivi had only missed one in the League in 2019, also against the Madrid team. The surprise was even greater in added time, because he sent another to the clouds. Even the best make bad decisions. Stuani’s goal, by the way, is his 101st official; records that place him as the third highest scorer in the history of the club, tied with Martín Abad.
The 0-1 is a misleading result, proving the superiority of Michel’s men, who became a type of failing opportunity against a Alcorcón that a few days ago was relegated and who has everything left over. The victories of Las Palmas and Oviedo left Girona with the obligation to take all three points to avoid serious problems. And in faith that the footballers, unlike other days, came out with the right gait. Baena warned with a deflected shot by Jesus, who immediately then kissed the crossbar and spat out a great shot from Juanpe.
Without any fright
In the second half, the Catalans did not want the game to go crazy and dedicated themselves to defending themselves with the ball, moving it from side to side without almost anything happening. Michel called Samu Saiz, who lost his prominence after being told clown the night he changed it in half an hour. It would be necessary to plug in the Madrid midfielder again, who put his attitude in Santo Domingo, because when he gets involved it is decisive.
One of the reasons for Girona’s victory is that the team did not go to court either, and this means that despite Alcorcón being harmless, it was alive until the end. He looked restless at the white-and-red coach, aware that any other result would have been a blow to the locker room’s self-esteem. Fortunately, he did not suffer and will face with some oxygen the last four days, in which he must seal the participation in the qualifiers and at the same time dose the efforts of some regular players who are more tired of the account.
