A dream lives on, don’t wake her up! The improbable Girona continues its frenetic run in La Liga, once again rising alone to the top of the standings. This time, his omadara Mitchell made her… leaf and feather Barcelonaprevailing 4-2 inside “Montzwick” and looks capable of chasing the title until the end!
At the same time, the “blaugrana” who were terribly misguided and had big gaps in defense, remain at -7 from first place and their current opponent. First win in their history in the home of Barcelona for Girona, which sent… a message in all directions!
Very good pace of the match in the first half, with Barcelona having a good moment in just 3′. Specifically, the Gintogan he entered the area, passed two Girona players, but the visitors’ defense cut his effort before the German executed. Mitchell’s side then took to the field and moved the ball around well and it was they who opened the scoring in the 12th minute of the match. THE Chigankov he left at the back of the Barcelona defense and turned at the right time to Dobbik who executed by contact him Penury for 1-0!
This goal did not deter the “Blaugrana” at all, who had possession and constantly pressed the goal Gasaniga. In the 19th minute and after a corner kick o Lewandowski he jumped higher than everyone and made it 1-1 with a nice header! Later in the match Xavi’s side were in control, however when Girona went on the attack they became extremely dangerous. In the 39′ the visitors had a big phase with Miguel, who took a shot from inside the area, but the ball went just wide. The Spaniard got… his revenge two minutes later and with a terrific shot from the edge of the area and after passing two or three Barcelona players, he defeated Penury for 2-1!
The minutes passed, the pace continued to be frenetic, however nothing changed and the Girona went to the locker room with a lead (1-2) against the Barcelona.
The second half went by at the same rate, with Barcelona to have come in too strong and to push for the equalizing goal. Guidogan was the main exponent of the home team’s phases, however he had found opposite him a fantastic Gasaniga who constantly stopped him!
Xavi made some changes to freshen up his team, but they didn’t help much, with Girona taking measures on the pitch and… making fun of Barcelona! Mitchell also made changes in his turn, but they worked for him, with Valeri, who came on in the 78th minute, in the 81st minute to make it 3-1 and shock everyone in the Montjuic.
THE Barcelona but he didn’t give up and in stoppage time they picked up the pace again, with Gintogan in the 90+1′ reducing it to 3-2 and putting “fire” in the game! Two minutes later the home side missed an incredible chance to equalize when Yamal crossed, but Lewandowski he didn’t finish the phase well. Girona had not said its last word and Stuani put the icing on the cake in the 90+5′ by writing the final 4-2!
