Girona loses by the minimum in Oviedo

Girona left the Carlos Tartiere empty-handed after losing by the minimum to Oviedo (1-0) in a dull, scrappy match decided by a detail in the final stretch. A goal by Ilyas Chaira in the 75th minute condemned the Girona team, which failed to turn their dominance on the pitch into clear chances.

The Girona team took the initiative from the initial whistle but came up against a well-organized Oviedo defense, comfortable in a low-paced scenario. The first half passed without major incidents, with timid attacks and few real danger situations in both areas. The clearest chances fell to Vanat, who had two opportunities but was stopped by Escandell in goal.

In the second half, Girona tried to step up, increasing the pressure and seeking more depth on the flanks. However, clear chances still did not come, and Oviedo, without needing to dominate, knew how to wait for their moment. It came in the 75th minute when Ilyas Chaira took advantage of a local offensive action to beat the Girona defense and score the only goal of the match.

The blow left Girona shaken, and in the final stretch, they tried every possible way to find an equalizer but could not achieve it.

A bitter defeat for a Girona team that controlled the match at many moments but paid dearly for their lack of accuracy in the areas. Girona will look to recover from this defeat at Sevilla's stadium next Saturday at 6:30 PM.
