• Míchel deployed three central defenders to bolster Girona’s press, while Espanyol drafted Calero into the XI to cover a late absence.
• Clear openings went begging for both sides, including Vanat’s one‑on‑one and a Romero curler that flashed just wide as late substitutions pursued a winner.
• The match was the first 0-0 of this LaLiga campaign and drew 11,488 spectators at Montilivi under referee Francisco José Hernández.
• Espanyol remained in the upper positions on 12 points, and reports differed on Girona’s immediate standings impact between bottom and the broader relegation zone.
