Girona’s sensational season continues as they dominate Alaves, reclaiming their top spot in La Liga. Among their standout players is Artem Dovbyk, whose goal count hits 10 in La Liga, trailing only behind Jude Bellingham’s 13.
In a match that bolstered Girona’s unexpected rise, they outplayed Alaves with strategic finesse. Dovbyk’s opening goal came from a powerful header, capitalizing on a rebound from Alaves’ goalkeeper Antonio Sivera, initially saved from Yan Couto’s attempt.
Portu, seizing the moment, then amplified Girona’s lead with a well-placed shot just outside the box, again involving Couto’s assistance with a skillful cross.
Manchester City’s on-loan talent, Yan Couto, continued to shine by earning a penalty. Dovbyk, Girona’s record signing from Dnipro for a reported £6m, confidently converted this opportunity, marking his 10th La Liga goal.
Under Michel’s guidance and the City Football Group’s co-ownership, Girona stands two points clear of Real Madrid. Remarkably, they’re a substantial nine points ahead of their Catalan neighbors, Barcelona, occupying third place.
Girona’s pursuit of a historic top position at Christmas and the season’s midpoint is within reach. A win against Real Betis on Thursday could solidify their remarkable journey.
