Girona easily defeated relegation-threatened Real Valladolid 3-0 at home to end their six-game losing streak in all competitions. Girona advanced to eighth position with 25 points after goals from David Lopez, Abel Ruiz, and Arnaut Danjuma completed the three points. Miguel Gutierrez's free-kick deflected off Lopez and into the top corner shortly beyond the half-hour mark, giving the home team the lead. The hosts controlled the game from the beginning.
Gutierrez earned his second assist in his 100th Girona appearance with a superbly weighted cross, and Ruiz increased their lead with a close-range header just eight minutes later. Paulo Gazzaniga had to push his long-range curler away from the far post after Mario Martin had Valladolid's lone chance of the game. In the 81st minute, Danjuma sent his first effort past Karl Hein to seal the win, scoring for the first time since August and leaving Valladolid four points from safety and second from bottom.
