This Sunday, Girona had a third place in La Liga to consolidate. However, with the reception of Betis, it did not look like an easy task for the Catalans. However, the match started well for the latter. After 36 minutes, finisher Artem Dovbyk took charge of putting his team in front from the penalty spot (1-0, 36th). A short-lived advantage because Willian José equalized for the Andalusians just before the break (1-1, 45+4th). The second half was much more eventful. And once again, the two attackers responded to each other.

While the Ukrainian took advantage of Portu's service to put his team in front again (2-1, 64th), it was again the Brazilian who slowed down Girona's enthusiasm (2-2, 76th). However, the Catalans have more than one trick up their sleeve this season. At the end of the match, veteran Cristhian Stuani allowed the locals to claim victory in added time (3-2, 90+2nd). With this victory, Girona is more than ever third and is two lengths behind its neighbor Barça, second. Betis are seventh and can be angry after this frustrating draw.
