Girona’s recent lapse in defense, resulting in a draw, has put them at risk as they open the door for Barcelona to overtake them. The visitors lost a potential away victory when Jon Guridi equalized in the final moments for Alaves on Friday, threatening Girona’s hold on the LaLiga’s second spot.

Starting strong with an early lead from Eric Garcia’s header, Girona’s advantage was short-lived as Guridi scored for Alaves. Despite Alaves showing more threat, Girona regained the lead with Yangel Herrera’s remarkable goal before halftime.
Although Girona had chances to increase their lead, Guridi scored his second goal in extra time to secure the draw. With 75 points, Girona is only two ahead of Barcelona, while Real Madrid has already claimed the title.
Alaves, currently in 11th place with 42 points, has managed to disrupt Girona’s quest for a winning streak. Guridi’s recent brace marked a significant achievement in his LaLiga career.
Girona’s unbeaten streak in the last four matches indicates potential, but they fell short of securing a fourth consecutive win in the league, which would have been a first since November 2023.
