Hi community!
Gazzaniga was the protagonist after stopping three penalties from the Lions, and the Uruguayan striker, Stuani, sealed the victory in the 99th minute. Asprilla opened the scoring, but immediately after, Sancet scored the final equaliser, getting injured in the action.
All the ingredients came together to make for a truly great match, one that no one expects but which ultimately steals everyone's attention.
Girona and Athletic Bilbao met at Montilivi in a duel in which nobody wanted to give up, which was decided in extra time and which had four penalties, three saved by goalkeeper Gazzaniga, the hero of the 2-1 victory of his team, who saw the first goal by Yaser Asprilla. Everything was happiness in the agony of a sunny afternoon with a lot of Colombian flavour.
They kept hitting each other until the break and the same thing happened at the start of the second half, with Asprilla always active, always offering passes and looking for paths to the opponent's goal, but Athletic were unsettling every time they went in.
With an afternoon to remember for the former Tottenham goalkeeper, Girona still had a miracle in their pocket, something that came in the ninth minute of added time. The VAR was once again the protagonist when it warned the referee about a hold by Aitor Paredes on Ladislav Krejci inside the area, something that led to the agonising penalty that Stuani converted into a goal to give the home team the victory.
See You soon! 🏐
