He Girona He finishes as leader on the first day of the second round and yet it is a bittersweet lead, who was going to tell the team of Michel at the beginning of the championship. Because he will surely be left with the feeling of having dropped two points against the bottom team. And there could have been three, because the best of Girona was Gazzaniga. He deserved the Almeria achieve the first victory of the course, but the dynamic is what it is. At least it is not a ‘dead’ team and it speaks well of the championship that the bottom team stands up to the leader to the point of surpassing them on points.
Míchel was right in his presentation before the game. “In this category we are not favorites in any game, the obligation to win does not exist and it will be very complicated,” said the coach. In case he didn’t remember, his team received a lesson they won’t forget in the future. Power Horse Stadium: Winning in the First Division costs a lot, no matter who the rival is. Even if he is a bottom player who has barely scored five points in a lap. Almería showed that they have better players than their numbers suggest, especially in the attacking zone, and put Girona in a lot of trouble. Garitano reinforced the midfield ahead of Edgar and short-circuited Girona, who were barely able to exhibit their successful inside game.
Almería took over the game little by little until they ended up dominating clearly and deserved the goal. Arribas had the clearest ones, but either he forgave them, like the header in the small area that he sent out, or he found himself with an inspired Gazzaniga. If Girona remained unscathed it was thanks to their goalkeeper, because almost nothing worked. Only Valery It was close to a good version. The rest had a gray performance and missed Savinhosubstitute because he was not in the best physical condition.
In Almería the opposite happened: there were several players at a notable level. Academy It was a knife on the left, Arribas constantly threatened, the three in the middle ate up Girona’s midfield… But the goal didn’t come. Baptistao He met Gazzaniga again as soon as he returned from the locker room and Arribas narrowly missed a shot from the top of the area. There was no way.
The passing of the minutes seemed to be in Girona’s favor. That and the entry of Savinho, who is a demon. When it seemed that the last ten minutes were going to be a siege of the new leader, Alex Garcia saw the red card for knocking down Melero, who stood before Gazzaniga. Almería still had one last rush, but it is not the year. At least, pride is not lacking. And for Girona, a bittersweet leadership. Although well thought out, being leaders on matchday 20 sounds incredible.
