In difficulty since the start of the season, Girona had to reassure themselves against Athletic Club this Sunday to climb back into the top places. But it was more complicated than expected, since Gazzaniga was decisive by repelling a penalty from Berenguer (15th). But in the process, the young Asprilla opened the scoring for the Catalans (1-0, 39th).
A short-lived advantage, since Sancet equalized a few moments later (1-1, 41st) and everything had to be done again for Girona. Still in difficulty, the Catalan team was once again saved by its goalkeeper Gazzaniga, who again stopped a penalty from Herrera (59th). And at the very end of the game, Bilbao conceded a penalty, transformed by Stuani (2-1, 90th+7). A close victory for Girona, which goes back to 11th in La Liga. For its part, Athletic Club fell to 6th place before the international break.
