Girona defeated Mallorca 1-0 at home, ending their La Liga losing skid and putting the Catalans one step closer to surviving. Before facing Mallorca at the Estadi Montilivi, the hosts had lost all 11 of their league games, but they achieved a crucial victory.
Once again, veteran striker Cristhian Stuani made the difference by scoring his ninth league goal of the season with a burst inside the first ten minutes. The 38-year-old has contributed in recent weeks, and this match's eventual winner is his third in three games, including a loss to the top-seeded Real Betis and a tie with Leganes. Before the half, both teams had half-chances, but Girona seized the lead after the restart and pressed for the game's second goal in front of a boisterous home crowd.
