Outstanding performance
Tenerife•MidfielderGirona made the perfect start, with Yáser Asprilla slotting home inside four minutes to silence the home crowd before they'd settled. Tenerife responded well though, growing into the game and drawing level through Enric Gallego on 26 minutes after a scrappy passage of play that also produced three bookings in as many minutes. Despite Girona dominating possession (59%) and completing far more passes (452 to 313), Tenerife matched them shot for shot with 12 apiece and were the more direct side, racking up 48 dangerous attacks to Girona's 39 and forcing more corners. Both sides made wholesale second-half changes, but the chances dried up as the game became stretched and niggly, with nine yellow cards shown in total and no team able to find a winner.
