Girona Climbs to Top of Spanish League with 1-0 Victory Over Celta Vigo

Yangel Herrera's injury-time goal puts the Catalan club three points clear of Real Madrid and four ahead of Barcelona in the Spanish league standings.

  • Girona clinched the top spot in the Spanish league with a 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo, reaffirming their strong start to the season.
  • Yangel Herrera's late goal secured the win for Girona, putting them three points ahead of Real Madrid and four points clear of Barcelona.
  • Both Real Madrid and Barcelona have a game in hand, with a face-off scheduled on the following Saturday in the 'clasico' in Barcelona.
  • Celta Vigo's goal was controversially disallowed due to a foul on the goalkeeper, a decision that their coach, Rafa Benítez, found inexplicable. As a result, Celta remains in the relegation zone with six points from 11 games.
  • Despite a dominant performance and multiple chances, Girona only managed to score once in the match through Herrera's goal.
