GIRONA: Oriol Romeu landed a late goal to bolster the home side Girona to seal a 2-1 victory over Valladolid in a clash between the two promoted leagues in the ongoing La Liga 2022-23.

Reinier Carvalho gave the home side a promising start as he struck in the 21st minute courtesy of a pass from Aleix García after recovering the ball near the area.

However, Girona’s lead was cut short in the 38th minute as Monchu Rodríguez struck from the outside to keep the game balanced.

Sergi Guardiola, Luis Pérez, and Kike Pérez were all injured for Valladolid before Romeu scored the game-winning goal with two minutes remaining.

Following their second victory in five rounds, Girona lifted to ninth place, while Valladolid remained at 14th.
