After yet another dismal outcome, Girona's chances of playing in Europe again next season remain mostly dim. Relegation-threatened Valencia held them at home after Diego Lopez's close-range goal gave them the lead just before the hour. Cristhian Stuani quickly gave the Catalans an equalizer by pulling off the same move from the draw against Espanyol the previous weekend. Girona moves up to 11th place as a consequence, but depending on other outcomes on Sunday, they might drop back down the table once more.
In another match, Celta Vigo's close victory against Real Valladolid confirmed that they are strong challengers for the European spots. The Galicians had a trying afternoon, but they finally found the breakthrough late on when Marcos Alonso scored from 12 yards out on the penalty spot.
