Three golden points

Girona is vindicated at home and gets an important victory to climb positions.

Getafe 0-1 Girona

The team has achieved an important victory to extend the good sensations in the league and add three points that allow them to climb positions. In an always demanding scenario and a complicated opponent due to the way they play and their defensive solidity, Míchel's team played a serious match, knowing how to adapt to the needs of each moment and relying on their effectiveness in attack to unbalance the scales. Yangel Herrera opened the scoring shortly before the break, and Gazzaniga got a saving foot out of the way at the restart to deflect one of Getafe's few clear chances, from Yildirim, who shot from point-blank range.

Yangel Herrera set the game in motion

The Colombian midfielder was the key to unlock a match with little presence in the areas and without the usual fluency in the game. Blind saw Bryan Gil unmarked in space, who received a precise pass from the Dutchman and, winning the back line, put a cross behind that Yangel Herrera crossed with his head into the back of the net. This is his second goal in the league this season, and precisely the first one was also used to score away at Celta de Vigo (1-1).

Arnau Martínez: “It was a difficult field and we knew how to compete”

The defender valued the victory as “a triumph that we all wanted”. About the match, he explained that “it was complicated, but we competed until the end. We knew it was a difficult field, but the team was able to react”. Now the league is at a standstill and resting the following weekend “will be very good for us to recover our players”.
