Overview
- Girona, which drew 1-1 with Real Sociedad on Thursday after Cristhian Stuani came on at halftime, climbed one point clear of the relegation places.
- Real Sociedad led through a Jon Martín header from a corner after a Paulo Gazzaniga error, before Stuani swept in Arnau Martínez’s cross to level.
- Coach Míchel turned to the club’s all-time top scorer despite a knee issue, highlighting a shortage at striker with Abel Ruiz and Vanat injured.
- The point stretches Girona’s winless run to six games, with a trip to Atlético de Madrid next and a final home match against Elche likely to decide safety.
- An eight-point cushion after matchday 30 has evaporated during a poor run, leaving Girona’s future in LaLiga to be settled in the last two fixtures.
