The sky was getting dark. Girona was not playing badly, but between Valencia’s stingy football and Míchel’s team’s lack of clarity in attack, it seemed like it would be a cross. But not. Neither. This team has so much faith and confidence that they don’t even give up in the worst scenarios. So much so that after Hugo Duro’s goal for Valencia, after a mistake by David López, the team insisted until the end. In six crazy minutes (m. 82 and m. 86) between Couto and Stuani they unblocked the game. Two actions traced by the Brazilian’s right ended with two goals for the Uruguayan, the second with the collaboration of Mosquera, which unleashed euphoria in Montilivi.
Finally Dovbyk recovered in time and was part of a starting eleven that had the other novelty in David López. The return of the player from Sant Cugat made The team will form with three defenders when the ball is released.with Eric Garcia on the right side and with Miguel Gutiérrez playing well away from the side.
Girona’s first minutes of the game were promising. Valencia made it clear from the center kick – a meaningless shot towards the Girona area – that they were giving up the ball and that they were coming with the intention of stealing and quickly going on the counterattack.
A first arrival from Dovbyk and a very long possession had the red and white fans rubbing their hands. “We’ll have a good time,” could be heard.
It wouldn’t be so easy. The Yangel Herrera’s injury after ten minutes of the beginning tarnished the good start of the game. Míchel opted for Pablo Torre to replace the Venezuelan. The interruption did not go well at all for Girona, who had a hard time getting back into the rhythm and arriving in danger. When he did it, in addition, he often fell into the offside trap of a Valencia team that was on the verge of giving the locals a scare. It was through a transition that Fran Pérez was barely able to crown with a goal.
Girona was warned. Despite Valencia’s cheap proposal, they had weapons to do harm. And, if she could, she tried.
With little fluidity on the wings, it was not until Tsygankov began to get going that danger returned to Girona. Dovbyk would find his way to the goal in an action that would be correctly ruled out for offside. The Ukrainian forward had another, very clear one, which Mamardashvili resolved very well.
Dismissal by David López
At the restart, things seemed to be back on track. Savinho had positioned himself on the right wing and did what he wanted with Yarek. And from his feet two good chances for Aleix Garcia were born. The one from Ulldecona, even so, was met with a spectacular response from an immense Mamardashvili. Especially the second, which made Montilivi sigh. They were the best minutes of the Girona game. But a mistake by David López ended Hugo Duro’s 0-1 lead.
The goal left Girona shaken. However, with the entry of Stuani and Couto on the field, the situation changed. Two actions traced by the Brazilian’s right They ended with two goals from the Uruguayan. The second, yes, after Mosquera collaborated. Stuani, in fact, awarded the rival footballer the authorship of the goal at the conclusion of the match.
