Marcelo Claure’s Girona achieves a revitalizing victory in the midst of solidarity

He had to win and he did. Girona, led by Bolivian Marcelo Claure, delivered and defeated Leganés 4-3, in the match corresponding to matchday 12 of LaLiga. Montilivi showed his solidarity with the victims of the tragedy in the Valencian Community.

With good play, Claure’s team won against Leganés, with very high efficiency. “Great victory against Leganés (4-3) in a very intense match. We needed these 3 points in a difficult moment. But, above football, there is the pain and tragedy of so many in Valencia. My deepest condolences and our support. From @GironaFC, we will help. Força València,” the Bolivian businessman published on his social media accounts.

Goals from Miguel Gutiérrez and Arnau Martínez in the first half and from Cristhian Stuani, from a penalty, and Sergio González, from an own goal, in the second, gave the three points to the local team, which played with just 13 first team players.

Once again, coach Míchel Sánchez had to juggle to set up his eleventh. For example, Gutiérrez had to play further forward.

“On a physical level I wanted to put in a couple of kids, but with the 4-3 I didn’t want to put a brunt on the young people. We were tired, but the work of the players is to be praised,” Míchel warned.

Girona achieved a long-suffering and hard-fought victory in the midst of an atmosphere of solidarity. The Catalan club announced that it would donate all the proceeds from the match to those affected by the terrible consequences of the DANA storm in the Valencian Community.

The historic DANA that hit the province of Valencia since last Tuesday claimed the lives of more than 200 people. And the rain continues without respite throughout the autonomous community.
