📝 Match report

Girona and Leganés shared the spoils at a Montilivi that was a festival of local dominance without reward until the 90th minute. Míchel's side controlled the game from start to finish with an overwhelming 69% possession and 27 shots, but found themselves on the wrong side of luck, conceding first: Naim García caught the hosts off guard in the 48' with one of those counterattacks that come from nowhere when you've got 31% of the ball. It was like that mate who shows up late to class, sits down and scores a 9 on the exam while everyone else has been sweating it since first period. Girona, however, didn't crumble into despair and got their just desserts in the closing stages thanks to Abel Ruiz, who levelled in the 90' when it looked like injustice was going to reign at Montilivi. The stats speak for themselves: 7 shots on target to 3, 10 corners to zero, barely 6 fouls against 16 for the visitors, but that's football sometimes, teaching you that possession isn't everything. La Hypermotion welcomes with open arms a Girona side that'll have to graft if they want to pull off "the lift trick" and make their way back to the top flight.
