Girona rolled to a 6-2 thrashing of Almeria

In the eighth minute, the hosts got rolling thanks to the goalkeeper Valentin Castellanos. Viktor Tsygankov, a striker from Ukraine who joined the team in January from Dynamo Kyiv, increased the advantage in the 34th, and Girona never looked back performing outstandingly. Before halftime, goals from Javi Hernández and Rodrigo Riquelme made it 4-0. In the second half, Girona scored twice more thanks to Iván Martin and Cristhian Stuani, while Almeria netted goals through Largie Ramazani and El Bilal Touré.

Girona stayed in the eleventh spot. The tiny club from northeastern Spain boasts the third-most effective offensive out of the 20-team tournament with 33 goals. Only Barcelona (43) and Real Madrid (44) have scored more goals. Almeria was dropped to 15th position, two points above the danger zone for relegation.
