The exceptional is beginning to be common in Montilivi. Only Iñaki Williams’ goal prevented Girona from regaining the lead, although they lead the classification along with Real Madrid. The Athletic striker tied a colorful match in which Tsygankov had overtaken the Catalan team culminating in a choral play. The final tables were close to both contenders, who did well to get the three points. Girona will now have a week to prepare for its next league match. Their direct rivals in the table have Champions and notable wear.
The game began with a surprise in the Girona lineup, with a notable absence. Dovbyk He could not overcome the muscle discomfort in his calf with which he had returned from his national team’s commitments and was dropped from the eleven. Stuani occupied his place, a replacement of guarantees. Athletic arrived warned and tried to take control of the game, so much so that after five minutes they had a very clear chance. So clear that Montilivi closed his eyes. A defensive mismatch in the face of a deep pass from Vesga left Guruzeta only against Gazzaniga inside the area, but his shot was weak and very focused.
Beautiful, electric first minutes, with both teams looking for the opposing goal but well established on the field. He slightly dominated the Athletic, more comfortable on the green, although when Girona had the ball they played it judiciously, forcing the Basques to retreat. A quarter of an hour later he scored the first for Girona: a cross from Miguel Gutiérrez and a header from Stuani slightly high. The Uruguayan tested Unai Simon two minutes later after a good assist from Yangel Herrera. Girona was stretching, Montilivi was vibrating. Sancet, De Marcos and Guruzeta gave the answer and Gazzaniga (four saves in the first half hour) was huge to avoid the goals.
Girona struck first but Yangel Herrera’s goal (min. 28) was disallowed by Melero López due to offside. Savinho in the unchecking. The VAR confirmed the Andalusian’s success and the Brazilian’s illegal position. With very little, the two teams generated a lot, which were much more in tune in attack than in defense. The Catalans were having fun, settled in their sleep, and the people were beginning to get impatient. Athleticdetermined to end the streak of Girona. Curiously, halftime was goalless.
Brilliant resumption, with Girona attacking in a rush. It took them ten minutes to take the lead on the scoreboard after a play on the left wing. Savinho arrives with great speed, puts it low, Stuani does not arrive but he does Tsygankov at the far post to score with a tight shot. A goal with a taste of leadership. But the locals’ joy was short-lived. Iñaki Williams He tied the score after getting rid of three Girona defenders in a textbook counterattack.
A tie with a taste of little
Both teams were looking for victory. No one wanted to speculate on the result. One point was not enough for both contenders. Michel and Valverde They were looking for a formula to shake up the party and tilt it towards their side. The fatigue was beginning to take its toll. It is a good argument to find an explanation for the defective header of Yangel Herrera, alone, within the area. There is not so much justification that Pablo Torre decided to finish off a play excellently carried out by Savinho when the best option was an assist that could have meant the victory, the three points and the lead. The six minutes of added time were insufficient for the score to move.
