Ivan Martin scored the game-winning goal for Girona in the 94th minute of Wednesday’s 4-3 home victory over Atletico Madrid. The lead in La Liga was tied between Girona and Real Madrid.
Despite falling behind 3-1, Atletico Madrid rallied and Alvaro Morata scored a hat trick. As a result of Martin’s precise touch and shot into the top corner, Girona were able to preserve their impressive start to the season.
The Girona coach, Michel, hailed the victory as “historic,” but he has since ceased to mention his team’s potential LaLiga title, despite their impressive play this season (which included a victory over Atleti).
“Winning LaLiga is not the goal,” Michel stated. As a club, we need to take things game by game and aim for Europe. Had a blast playing a challenging game; performed admirably. The match was fantastic, too, Atletico.
“My teammates always have a positive outlook, no matter what comes their way.”
Their accomplishments as athletes are something to be proud of. Our goal is to win a European championship, but Real Madrid is just too formidable. It is challenging to reach significant team point totals.
Their coach may have given them a gloomy outlook for the season, but unexpected Following Real’s 1-0 victory over Mallorca on Wednesday, Girona found themselves in second place with 48 points, just behind Real in terms of goal differential. With 38 points, Atletico Madrid sits in third place.
“After losing a game and points, we must focus on what’s ahead,” Morata told Movistar. Man, it’s just football. After this loss, there is no way to go on. Before the Cup and Super Cup, we need to rest and get our act together since time is of the essence.
Valery Fernandez curled a shot from inside the box to give Girona the lead two minutes into the game. Morata scored Atletico’s equaliser in the fourteenth minute.
The pressure from Girona allowed Savio to score in the 26th minute, bringing the score to 2-1. The ball was snatched away from Atletico Madrid’s Koke.
In the 39th minute, Dutch defender Daley Blind added to the hosts’ lead with a tap-in. In what seemed like the last minute of the first half, Morata of Atletico Madrid went on a breathtaking solo run to restore a goal.
Morata tied the game again with his third goal in the 53rd minute. Girona came out on top because of Martin’s spectacular shot.
Scoring a goal was a gamble. Our success since relegation is not coincidental, as Martin indicated. I take pleasure in my game. We need to keep going, even though European football will support us.
Tomorrow in the Spanish Cup, Girona and Atletico Madrid will face off against Lugo and Elche, respectively.
