After adding one point from the last nine, with two consecutive defeats in two stadiums as complicated as the Bernabeu y San Mameshe Girona gave Rayo a blow of Champions in the heat of their fans. He gets ten points again Athletic, fifth, with 36 to play. A hopeful margin. Perhaps you have already realized that the title is an almost impossible mission against a Madrid that barely fails, but the goal of playing in the top continental competition is an enormous motivation for a club that was in the Second Division just a short time ago. Against Rayo he struggled in the first half, but he resolved it in a great second act.
Girona is in that phase of the season in which everything costs more. The game no longer flows as it did, now you have to work on it. It usually happens when the end of the season is approaching and teams are getting tougher in the pursuit of their objectives. And the legs also weigh more, of course. However, what cannot be argued against Girona is their search for matches. Whether he is fine or not, and now he is not, he trusts in what has led him to the situation he finds himself in. And it’s not going to get out of there.
Rayo forced Míchel’s team to break the bank and Girona had no choice but to get to work. He tried it in every way: inside, outside, with pipes. Eric, with long balls behind the rival full-backs, with their own full-backs generating superiority… But Rayo is a difficult team to get ahold of when it adopts the role of a dominated team. He has more problems, of course, when it is his turn to propose. That’s where he has work Inigo Perez. He has players to create more, including a Crespo who was a starter for the first time and left several high-quality details.
As there was no way to get our teeth into Rayo’s orderly defense, Girona had to find their best chance on the run. After a game of Couto and a good pass Port, Dovbyk He controlled like a third-string forward, or worse. He didn’t even control it, wow. In the first half, he had also missed a header due to not having faith. The Ukrainian forward’s muses have gone.
It had to be another Ukrainian, Tsygankov, who broke the game. The start of the second half for Girona was serious, with very high rhythm and precision, overwhelming a Rayo that did not make it easy. Miguel He controlled a long pass, put it behind him and Tsygankov told Dovbyk ‘look, that’s how he defines himself’.
If the match remained alive until the end it was because Dovbyk, who sent another great chance to limbo, did not have the day. El Rayo, who stayed alive without knowing very well how, had his way through Alvaro Garcia. After, Chavarria He saw two yellow cards in one minute and ended any Vallecan hope. MichelOf course, he became desperate on the sideline seeing how his players forgave again and again. The second had not arrived and the distance was just one goal… until the festival of Savinho in the addition. The Brazilian uncovered the bottle with two great goals and Montilivi danced in the rain.
