Girona 2-1 Real Madrid

Girona finally got their reward in the 54th minute when Pere Pons' incisive dribble broke for Stuani, who skilfully stepped past his marker and finished clinically into the bottom near corner.

Madrid's back four, which lost Raphael Varane to an apparent leg injury at half-time, was completely scattered by that stage and shipped a second just four minutes later.

 

Casilla saved with his feet from Stuani before Portu, possibly in an offside position, intelligently flicked home Maffeo's follow-up attempt to complete the comeback.

It could have been 3-1 with just over 20 minutes remaining, but Stuani guided his finish narrowly wide following Alex Granell's smart through pass.

The miss did not matter, though, as the introduction of Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez failed to deny Girona a famous victory.

Madrid will hope to regroup for their Champions League excursion to Tottenham on Wednesday, before returning home to host Las Palmas next Sunday.
