Girona signed their best start in the League with a victory at the Sánchez Pizjuán against a Sevilla that does not raise its head and adds three consecutive defeats. With Olga Carmona, the full-back of the Spanish women's national team in the box office, and with the Sevilla players wearing the phrase "Se acabó" on their chests with reference to the scandal of Luis Rubiales' bad behavior after the final of the Women's World Cup, the match was played at a high pace.
Sevilla were a very vertical team, as Mendilibar likes, and Girona were looking for long possessions and not giving so much intensity to the game. Girona scored early, in the 16th minute, in a set piece play. Míchel's took a corner and after Sow Yangel touched the ball, Hererra sent it into the net.
Girona had the second through Savinho, but it was Sevilla who equalized in added time in the first half with a goal similar to 0-1. The goal came on a set piece play. After another bad rejection, Gudelj managed to overcome Gazzaniga. Even before the break, in the 50th minute, Sevilla were able to make it 2-1 through Suso, who sent the ball onto the post.
The second half started with a very complete Girona, with Juanpe for Herrera. And in the 56th, Girona took the lead again. Tsygankov crossed and after another poor refusal from the defense, Aleix García beat Dmitrovic with a great shot through the box.
Sevilla went all out on the attack. In the 60th minute, Rakitic scored with a very angled shot that made a perfect curve. When Sevilla were celebrating the equaliser, the VAR alerted the referee, who went to the monitor and ruled that the Croatian was offside.
Sevilla won. Pedrosa hit the post. Girona had the 1-3 in a shot by Savinho on the post and in an error by Dovbik in an empty net. Already in the added time, Gil Manzano whistled a penalty for David López, but the VAR annulled the maximum penalty.
