For twenty minutes Montilivi went back in time, specifically before catching the bad streak, to play again like the angels. Oviedo did not have time to open the mouth that was already behind in the marker, fruit of a goal of Baena that returned to be Baena. The midfielder recovered the spark that made him a different player and, on the third attempt, swallowed a whip impossible to stop by Femenías. The superiority, at times, was so great that the Asturians did not pass their field for quite some time, pushed by Michel’s men, who presented the novelty of Terrats as an improvised center in the absence of Bernardo. He didn’t cringe even once, on the 21st white-and-red, showing the courage the youngsters have shown throughout the season. Like Arnau on the right, he is convinced that he will succeed despite not having a curriculum vitae. Youth is brave.
211 matches by Borja García
As if blowing a birthday cake to celebrate becoming the third footballer in the history of Girona with the most matches in professional football (211), Borja García also let go. You will be remembered, Borja, for being part of a team that touched the sky coming to Primera; but settling for a single ascent is not part of his plans. Who wants to find out what it feels like to climb is Stuani, who a few days ago made a space in eternity. Between the two, they almost didn’t score the second. They deserved it.
The days would not be the same without the stops of Juan Carlos, a hero and saint rarely recognized. There is no game in which the Girona goalkeeper does not save a goal; sometimes even sung. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Viti lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Faded the superiority of the beginning, not even the 2-0 of Stuani, tidying up a genius of Baena in the network, was synonymous with tranquility: in a seen and unseen, Borja Sánchez cut distances. A repetitive error of concentration that would have been worse if Juan Carlos had not intervened in a shot by Dani Calvo.
