📝 Match report

Girona won with goals from Jastin García, Fran Beltrán, Yáser Asprilla (2) and Izan González in a soothing victory after starting the season with just one point from six. The yellow shirt outfit, who arrived at matchday three with two wins and the chance to sit alone at the top, were overpowered by the Catalan side, especially after the break, and have surrendered top spot in LaLiga Hypermotion. Montilivi witnessed a ruthless footballing masterclass where Girona transformed the urgency of their opening matches into an attacking festival that left Las Palmas completely out of the game. Abel Ruiz and Vanat warned in the opening exchanges before Jastin García put the hosts ahead in the 22nd minute with a powerful strike from distance that caught José Antonio Caro off guard. The visitors' response was quick but insufficient: Iván Jaime equalized in the 48th minute, barely a gasp of hope before Girona snuffed it out with conviction. Fran Beltrán buried the 1-1 with a very precise technical finish and then came the spectacle of Yáser Asprilla, who has never come close to producing a performance like this during his time at Montilivi. The Colombian was unstoppable: first in the 60th minute after a counterattack where nobody matched his pace, then in the 72nd with a beautiful curler into the corner. An Abel Ruiz goal from an Asprilla assist was ruled out for offside, VAR robbing glory where there was glory to be had. Then came the positive debuts of Javi Boñar and Oleksandr Pyshchur, a red card for Jese Rodríguez for a foul, Taisei Miyashiro's 4-2 and Izan's decisive 5-2. Álvarez gave minutes to Pyshchur, who struck the post once and squandered a tap-in, while Miyashiro made it 4-2 and the crowd continued booing Gazzaniga. Montilivi could celebrate a brilliant win to dispel doubts and demons, waiting to complete the squad that must fight to return to the top flight the quick way. Las Palmas arrived wearing the leader's crown and left battered, losing authority on a night when Girona finally woke up after sleepwalking through the first two matchdays.
