Girona is now entering Europe

“Europe, ha hi som here.” With this motto on their chest, the Girona players put on commemorative t-shirts at the end of the match against Cádiz to celebrate that the team had just made history again: mathematically qualifying for a European competition for the first time. The victory against the Cadiz team grants them this privilege when there are still 6 days left. And not only that because the possibility that this goal could be even more ambitious and end up playing in the Champions League next season is increasingly real. Athletic’s slip now widens the gap between the two by 10 points. Furthermore, it was a peaceful night for Míchel’s team, who already dominated before 10 minutes thanks to a great goal from Eric Garcia. It was the result of a blackboard corner in which Aleix Garcia played it short for Ivan Martín, who gave it to Savinho and the Brazilian put it behind the Catalan center back to send it very close to the post. A delight only surpassed, minutes later, by Miguel who invented a spur assist to enable Ivan Martín himself to score the second. The Basque midfielder celebrated by displaying a Borja García jersey, almost unheard of this season due to injuries. Two works of art that could have been three if Savinho’s Vaseline, just before the referee’s whistle, had not crashed into the crossbar. The Girona monologue continued in the second half against a Cádiz team that practically remained just as ineffective in attack. The only thing missing was for the top scorer, Artem Dovbyk, to be added to the party, who did not fail his appointment with the goal with an exquisite technical maneuver inside the area to make the third by himself. The forcefulness of the score made the locals take their foot off the accelerator and saw how Cádiz enjoyed the first good chances to the point that Gonzalo Escalante managed to close the gap, making it 3 to 1 in a shot that Gazzaniga had taken from inside the goal. In the final minutes there was still time for Portu, who had just entered the field, to be more astute than anyone and take advantage of an inaccuracy in the visiting defense to score the fourth and final goal against Montilivi’s delirium.
