Rayo Vallecano 1 Girona 2
Rayo enjoyed a superb start in Vallecas as Alvaro Garcia pounced on a Girona defensive error to fire the hosts in front.
However, Girona showed their calmness under pressure in the Spanish capital, as Artem Dovbyk curled home an equaliser, just before the break.
Rayo were frustrated after the restart, as the home side hit the woodwork twice in quick succession, before Savio reacted quickest inside the box, to stab home winner, after Dovbyk’s strike was saved.
