From the outset, Girona displayed intent and purpose, swiftly asserting their dominance to seize control of the match within the opening 15 minutes at the Estadi Montilivi.

Despite Girona’s early onslaught, Osasuna struggled to find their rhythm and mount a meaningful response, with their first real chance coming only in the 29th minute when Johan Mojica unleashed a fierce long-range effort that narrowly missed the target, much to the relief of Girona’s goalkeeper, Paulo Gazzaniga.

As the first half drew to a close, Girona maintained their slender advantage, heading into the interval with a sense of momentum and determination. The hosts’ dominance continued into the second half, with Savio’s apparent foul inside the penalty area waved away by the referee, denying Girona a potential opportunity to extend their lead.

Despite Girona’s sustained pressure, Osasuna managed to weather the storm and keep themselves in contention, with goalkeeper Sergio Herrera pulling off a series of impressive saves to keep his side in the game. However, Girona’s persistence eventually paid off in the 85th minute when Sávio combined with Aleix García to clinically slot the ball into the bottom corner, sealing victory for the home side.

The win marks Girona’s second consecutive triumph at home, propelling them closer to the summit of the LaLiga table and igniting hopes of a sustained push for the title. Meanwhile, Osasuna’s valiant effort came to an end, as their four-game unbeaten run came to a halt, leaving them in 10th place in the standings.

With their sights set on closing the gap on league leaders Real Madrid, Girona’s impressive display serves as a testament to their resilience and determination to compete at the highest level. As they continue their pursuit of glory, Girona remains a formidable force to be reckoned with in the fiercely competitive landscape of LaLiga football.
