Now relegated 10 points from first place following Real Madrid’s victory against Osasuna earlier in the day, Girona traveled to Getafe with the firm ambition of closing the gap with the Merengue club. Above all, Michel’s men finally intended to follow up with two victories in a row. But everything did not go as planned in the southern suburbs of Madrid.

If the two teams put up a good battle during the first half hour, Getafe managed to get the better of their Catalan counterpart through Santiago, at the conclusion of a superb collective effort from the Azulones (1- 0.31st). Lacking success like this attempt by Dovbyk before the break, Girona chased the score until the final whistle without managing to equalize. With this result, Getafe ends a series of four unsuccessful matches and moves to ninth place. Opposite, Girona falls back into its failings and could abandon its third place in the event of a victory for FC Barcelona on the pitch of Atlético de Madrid on Sunday.
