Girona B secured a narrow 0-1 victory away against Calamocha, with Arango scoring the decisive goal and Jordi Bilali stopping a crucial penalty kick for the second match.
Looking to shake off a pattern of alternating wins and losses, Ángel Donato’s squad travelled to face a Calamocha side that had struggled to find wins on its home pitch all season. Girona B immediately took control of the match, pushing the Aragonese hosts deep into their own half and applying sustained offensive pressure.
Frey tested the Calamocha defense with a pair of dangerous scoring attempts before Arango broke the deadlock just before halftime, putting the visitors ahead in the closing minutes of the first period.
Arango Scores as Girona B Dominates Opening Half
The tactical approach paid off early as Girona B pinned Calamocha in their defensive third for much of the opening 45 minutes. Frey’s aggressive movement created multiple openings, paving the way for Arango to capitalize late in the half and convert the territorial advantage into a 0-1 lead.
The breakthrough gave the visitors a deserved advantage heading toward the interval, though their defensive resolve was tested almost immediately after the goal.
Bilali Denies Penalty for Second Straight Match
Moments after Arango’s opener, the match referee whistled a penalty kick in favor of Calamocha, threatening to erase Girona B’s hard-earned halftime advantage. However, Jordi Bilali proved unbeatable from the 11-meter spot.
Bilali anticipated the strike and stopped the penalty, repeating his heroics from the previous matchday to preserve the clean sheet and protect Girona B’s lead.
Late Red Cards and Second-Half Stalemate
Calamocha mounted a more aggressive offensive stance after the break, creating several scoring opportunities as they chased an equalizer. Girona B sought a second goal to secure the match, but neither side managed to alter the scoreline through open play.
In the final stretch of the encounter, Calamocha suffered two player expulsions. With a two-man advantage on the pitch, Girona B pressed hard for an insurance goal but could not capitalize on the numerical superiority before the final whistle.
