Girona secured three valuable points at El Molinón after defeating Sporting de Gijón 0-2. Quique Álvarez's team delivered a solid and effective performance, especially in defense, against an Asturian side that made things far from easy for the red-and-whites.
The Girona team took the lead in the 27th minute. Yáser Asprilla capitalized on a long ball from Gazzaniga and a mistake by the home defense to score the 0-1. The goal brought calm to Girona, who went into halftime ahead on the scoreboard.
In the second half, however, Sporting stepped up and began to create danger. Gazzaniga stepped up at crucial moments to keep a clean sheet and allow Girona to maintain their advantage. The home side pressed on but couldn't find the back of the net.
And just when Girona was under the most pressure, the decisive blow came. Carles Pérez, making his debut with the team, came on in the 68th minute and just eight minutes later opened his scoring account. A quick transition ended with an assist from Iván Morante and a low shot from the Catalan attacker, making it 0-2 on the scoreboard.
With the game under control, Girona managed the final minutes well and secured an especially valuable victory. Seven points out of a possible twelve and two consecutive wins reinforce the positive momentum at the start of the season.
Beyond the result, the victory offers an important takeaway: this Girona team not only knows how to dominate and score goals but also knows how to resist, compete, and win in challenging scenarios.
