After a first part dominated by Barça, but with few occasions (only Ansu Fati in minute 29 and Pedri in minute 41 put the Argentine goalkeeper of Girona Paulo Gazzaniga to the test), after the break the game improved in terms of play and emotion.

At game time, Barça managed to get ahead on the scoreboard in a play that began on the right wing and ended on the other side, with a cross from Jordi Alba that Pedri finished off into the net at the far post and from inside the small area ( 61).

With the score against them, the local team took a step forward and began to threaten the frame defended by Marc André Ter Stegen.

Arnau Martínez equalized shortly after the Barça goal but the move was canceled due to the Girona winger being offside (65).

As the minutes progressed, Girona increased control of the game and Barça defended further back.

Girona, whose coach Míchel was sent off shortly before the end, ended up facing the rival goal and came close to drawing with chances from Iván Martín (87), Joel Roca (89), Valery Fernández )90+ and the Uruguayan Cristhian Stuani ( 90+6) and Barça ended up asking for the time, but managed to take the victory to stay at least one more week as leader of LaLiga.
