Three vital points!

Girona 1-0 Mallorca

Vital victory at Montilivi. Girona has broken the bad streak with a key victory to move away from relegation and face the final stretch of the season with more guarantees. Míchel's team was superior to Mallorca from start to finish in terms of play and pride, and despite the minimal advantage on the scoreboard, they have had the match under control since Stuani's goal after ten minutes. The stadium has pushed and the team has responded on a key day to regain confidence and celebrate together a victory that moves the team six points clear of relegation with twelve points to go. The Red and Whites, in fact, had clear chances to finish the game off much earlier and cancelled out a Mallorca team that hardly reached Gazzaniga's domain.

Eternal Stuani

The Uruguayan striker always appears at key moments, and today was no exception. The eternal goalscorer from Girona took a loose ball inside the area right from the start and shot high to beat Greif and make the Montilivi stadium explode and start to draw the way to a very important victory. Portu had a chance to score the second shortly after Yangel's cross, and in the only dangerous arrival of the Balearics in the second half, Gazzaniga saved a great hand to deflect a long-range shot by Darder to a corner. Stuani, despite the referee's flag being raised, also had another chance, with a stinging shot that went just wide of the post, and Girona threatened again after a recovery on the edge of the area. Before the break, Yangel again threatened Greif's goal with a dangerous shot that showed the way forward for the restart.

Orgull Gironí

Girona continued to be the protagonist with the ball and kept the match under control at all times, having the personality to look ahead. Yangel, a few minutes later, demanded a great save from Greif to avoid the second, and Portu had the clearest chance. The striker received a pass behind the back of the defense that left him alone in front of the goalkeeper, but the Slovakian saved again. Tsygankov had also forced him to fly shortly before to save a shot from the edge of the area for a corner, and he also anticipated a dangerous cross from Yangel at the far post. Girona could not close the game and Mallorca made a small step forward in the last minutes, but except for the sensation of danger, they did not manage to finish any play against a very solid and committed Girona, who exploded with joy at the final whistle of the referee.

Montilivi and the team have celebrated together a victory full of pride, and now there are four rounds left to finish closing a permanence that is already one step closer. This Saturday, Míchel's team will receive the visit of Villarreal (18:30 h).
