Outstanding performance
Girona•MidfielderGirona's dominance was built almost entirely after the break, as they turned a tense 1-1 scoreline into a rout with four goals in 24 second-half minutes. Jastin Garcia's early opener was cancelled out almost immediately after halftime by substitute Ivan Jaime, but Girona responded with ruthless efficiency, with Fran Beltran and a double from super-sub Yaser Asprilla blowing the game open. Las Palmas' afternoon worsened further when Jese was shown a straight red on 75 minutes, leaving them to chase the game a man light, though Taisei Miyashiro and Izan Gonzalez added respectability with late consolation strikes. The numbers tell the story of Girona's control despite less possession - 17 shots to 5, 6 big chances created to just 1, and a commanding 66-50 dominance rating - proving that clinical finishing and squad depth off the bench were the difference-makers in what became a statement win to open their title-chasing campaign.
