LaLiga side Girona were the ones smiling by full time on Sunday following a 2-1 victory over the Premier League's Wolves.
Scorers: Herrera 51', Roca 56'; Arias 78'
Following a goalless first half, it was two moments in the span of five minutes that undid the visitors in Spain during an entertaining second half.
Yangel Herrera opened the scoring after redirecting a cross into the box before the goal of the night secured the victory beautifully. A stunning curling effort from Joel Roca found the top right corner as the stadium erupted and he celebrated with fans, arms outstretched.
Wolves, wanting to give some extra legs a few minutes during pre-season, then made five changes. One man entering the game was Jhon Arias, who made his first appearance for the club.
And it was quite the individual moment, too, as he pulled one back 12 minutes after coming on. Arias broke into the box and fired the ball high beyond the goalkeeper, but his late efforts were not enough to inspire a turnaround, seeing things end 2-1.
