Girona FC beat Albacete FC 2-0, showing their ability to win even in games where they are not in total control. Despite expectations that Girona would dominate against the bottom team, the game was closely fought. Albacete put Girona under pressure from the start and repeatedly found space that put the Catalans' defense in trouble. Goalkeeper Gazzaniga had to intervene several times - he was particularly challenged with his hands, while he had some problems with his feet. The first real opportunity for Girona led to the first goal. Àlex Moreno broke through on the left, Boñar extended the ball to the back post, where Abel Ruiz returned after his suspension to make it 1-0. Although the result did not reflect the entire development of the game, Albacete continued to be dangerous. Soberón and Rubio repeatedly caused danger and Girona struggled to get out of the defense cleanly. Despite the numerous absences and Javi Sarasa's league debut, Quique's team seemed to have enough quality to play more calmly. However, Gerona showed his goal threat. Shortly before half-time, Carles Pérez increased the score with a quick advance and passed the ball back to Van de Beek, who made it 2-0 with a precise shot that hit the crossbar. This was the Dutchman's first goal in his third season at Girona and he will continue to search for the consistency he still lacks. After the break, Albacete could have changed everything. Gazzaniga saved his team from conceding a goal with a spectacular save against Soberón, and shortly afterwards he had to deal with Corpas again. Rubio did score, but it was disallowed for offside and Ortuño also hit the post. Albacete had numerous chances but failed to score. After the pressure had eased, Girona found their game again and Carles Pérez provided new impetus. Quique was also able to give several players playing time: Sarasa was duly celebrated after a strong debut, Unai Hernández returned after several weeks, and Mateu Morey was able to collect his first minutes after injury problems. The second yellow card for Ortuño in stoppage time finally made the game clear. Girona celebrated its second win in a row and fourth in its last five games, temporarily lifting the team to third place. FC Girona showed that they can achieve success not only through play, but also through efficiency.

What happens next

Following this win, Girona will look to keep the momentum going in the coming games as they prepare for the LaLiga HyperMotion challenges. The team will need to continue working on their defense to better control the threats that Albacete posed. Players like Van de Beek and Carles Pérez could be crucial to increase the offensive power and collect more points.
