It was an anomalous match since the previous one ,. “We wait for youMister, ”he read in a banner displayed by the fans. Both teams left with opposite objectives. Girona, which last year enjoyed success, needed the three points this season to ensure its permanence in the category. That is why, this Saturday, the Catalan club bet on the same eleven of the last match against Mallorca, which was the first victory of the team of the team Gironath In three months, in which he accumulated seven losses and four draws. Among the headlines, Stuani, who finally did not see goal in Montilivi, and that chained three games scoring and added five of the last seven goals of Girona. The Villarreal, on the other hand, started with the need to tie up to the fifth league and Champions square – the “Gordo Prize”, according to Marcelino – stalked by Betis, to one point.
The sky endured the rain that warned the dark clouds. And Gazzaniga the attacks of Villarreal. The encounter, with a high rhythm and even a certain lack of control, began balanced for both sets, struggling to be protagonists with the ball. The Girona people They went out of the back controlling the ball and with horizontal passes, but the visitors were well positioned, with Marcelino asking for more and more pressure from the band. It cost the locals to find some loophole to sneak through, moving in front of the balcony of the area, but without seeing goal. On the contrary that Villarreal, more sharp and direct, looking for spaces and finding them with rapid transitions that they built easily and.
The Argentine goalkeeper was configured as the hero in Montilivi: he saved the score with a double stop – with a first impact on the face – before the shots Ayoze just one meter away, and the stadium cheered his goalkeeper. Girona was against the ropes, unable to generate any danger, while Villarreal, with Yeremy, Pepe and Ayoze, found different auctioneing alternatives. At rest, statistics showed the siege of Villarreal: 14 auctions of the visitors against five of the premises.
The marker did not move. Girona clenched and improved with a shot by Stuani that Pau Navarro blocked. Villarreal lowered the intensity, although it continued to generate danger when they least expected the Girona peoplewho continued without finding their aim. When Montilivi savored and signed the tie that brought the team closer to permanence, Villarreal’s goal came after a header from Etta Eyong completely only within the small area in a poorly defended action by Girona. Fans began to leave. The defeat left Montilivi frozen.
