A great goal by Aketxe forces the Catalan team to win by more than two goals to stay alive in the playoff
Eibar played with ten the entire second half due to an expulsion of left-back Álvaro Tejero
Rain or shine. In the afternoon or at night. The opponent doesn’t matter. Girona does not get the playoff no matter how many times they try. His sixth adventure has gotten off to a rocky start and he needs a miracle to keep her alive. The defeat in Montilivi against Eibar forces them to win by at least two goals in Ipurúa. Quite a feat.

decided a great goal Aketxe, who scored from home about half an hour into the game. The momentary 0-1 did justice to a group, that of Garitano, which dominated the first act. He even enjoyed two very clear chances to score: arnau took the ball off the line and foundling He sent a shoe to the crossbar. Although everything changed before the break. weaver He saw two yellows in a heartbeat and went to the dugout.
they deserved more
moved tab Michelgiving input to Pablo Moreno and Ivan Martin, and Girona improved. He looked hard for the tie, but despite shooting the possession counter, he drowned on the shore. It lacked speed and was too predictable. Despite this, he was able to tie with a header from Stuani that hit the wood.
Or with a shot Alex that he left for very little. Eibar, much more conservative and with one man less, closed and defended tooth and nail. He joined his lines and made it impossible for Montilivi to believe in the comeback. More than one penalty was requested and in the other goal, some dangerous excursion to the counterattack and little else. The marker did not move, despite the push and insistence. The 0-1 complicates, and a lot, things for the Catalans.
