Three points to close the year | OneFootball

Girona 3-0 Valladolid

Girona ends the year in the best possible way, getting three important points in Montilivi to go up to twenty-five with one game left to close the first round. Míchel's team put an end to a historic 2024 with a solvent victory in front of the fans in a duel where the team has recovered the best version, has been clearly dominant with the ball and has subdued a defensive Valladolid printing a high pace to the game. David López, Abel Ruiz and Danjuma scored the goals on a positive night.

David Lopez and Abel set the three points on the right track

Asprilla threatened right from the start, cutting in from the right and firing a shot that, after bouncing off a defender, forced Hein to stretch to deflect it behind for a corner. Blind, appearing from the second line and gobbling up Miguel's pass, once again came close to the first, and Van de Beek first and above all Arnau had two close calls with two headers. It would end up arriving at the half-hour mark thanks to a foul that Bryan Gil provoked at the edge of the area. Miguel has executed it and the shot, rebounded David Lopez, has ended up in the back of the net. Girona continued to insistently threaten the low block of the visitors, and Miguel again assisted the second goal to Abel Ruiz, who headed the ball in at the far post.

Solid to seal the win in the second half

At the restart, the visitors made a small step forward and came a little closer to the area, but Girona was solid in the area and Gazzaniga made a good save from a dangerous shot from outside the area. The clearest chances continued to go to Girona, who came close to a third when a back pass was blocked by Bryan Gil from close range. The Red and Whites, who were in control of the match at all times, closed it by stringing together long possessions and getting into the area with danger, and Danjuma sealed the goal by finishing off a low cross inside the area. After the holidays, Míchel's team will kick off the year at Alavés in the last match of the first round.
