Girona B secured a prestigious 0-1 victory against Barça B this Saturday, becoming the first team to win at the Johan Cruyff stadium this season.

The match was decided by a Nil Garrido penalty after a handball by Alexis Olmedo. Quique Álvarez's side showed great character, especially after a first half where Antonio Salguero had a goal disallowed for offside.
Goalkeeper Andreev was instrumental in maintaining the lead, making several key saves as Barça B pushed for an equalizer. The tension escalated in the final minutes with two direct red cards for the visitors.
Despite losing Raúl Martínez and Guillem Badia to ejections, Girona B held firm to take all three points back to Girona in a display of defensive solidarity.
