Girona Vs Alaves: Gironistes Returns To La Liga

JAKARTA - The last match of the 17th week brought together Girona vs Alaves at the Montilivi Stadium on Tuesday, December 19, 2023, early morning WIB.

Gironistes, nicknamed Girona, silenced his guest with a landslide score of three goals without reply.

The hosts did appear to be dominantly effective. They control 67 percent of the ball by firing nine shots, four of which are on target.

This means that from the four on target shots, Girona was able to score three goals.

Michel's men opened the scoring in the 23rd minute through Artem Dovbyk. The goal started with Yan Couto's left foot kick which was countered by goalkeeper Antonio Sivera.

The ball vomited in the mouth of the goal was immediately struck by Dovbyk with a header.

Winning one goal did not make Girona relax the pressure. Couto always spread threats through his penetration on the right side of the attack which can always penetrate the opponent's defense.

He was again guarding Girona's goal. This time, Couto sent a cut-back ball to Cristian Portu after passing through several Alaves players.

The port without control first fired a low-lying hard shot that Sivera failed to block in the 42nd minute.

The match between Girona vs Alaves in the first half ended 2-0.

In the second half, Alaves, who tried to find a goal to reduce the gap, always ran aground. They conceded again in the 59th minute.

For the third time, Couto became an actor for Gironistes' goal. The player's number 20 Solo run into the penalty box had to be tackled by Javi Lopez.

The referee did not hesitate to point to the spot. Dovbyk, who became the executor, calmly carried out his duties.

His penalty kick went to the center and low, enough to outwit Sivera moving to its left side.

Alaves had threatened several times, but their attacks always ran aground once they met the strong wall of the host's defense.

The visitors' only best chance was born in the 85th minute. Ruben Duarte made a long-range shot with his left foot, but the ball still hit the bar.

After that, no more goals were created. Girona vs Alaves' party ended with a score of 3-0.

An additional three points made Girona return to the top of the 2023/2024 La Liga standings. They collected 42 points.

Lurking in second place is Real Madrid. Los Blancos are willing to be evicted again by bagging 42 points.
