Girona FC has kicked off their preseason with a goalless draw against Saudi club Al-Qadsiah. This match marked the debut of coach Quique Álvarez and provided an opportunity to see new signings like Morante and Pyschur in action, as well as the young Izan González. Most of the players who started this friendly are not expected to be in the lineup for the league opener against Leganés on August 16 at Montilivi.
The match, played under intense heat, saw few clear chances in the first half. After the hydration break, the Saudi team had the first dangerous shot. For Girona, Morante showed good form, and Artero, returning from injury, displayed high motivation.
In the second half, with the introduction of players such as Minsu, Iván Martín, and Abel Ruiz, the team showed offensive improvement. After Al-Qadsiah hit the crossbar, Girona had their best opportunities through Iván Martín, Dawda, and Lass, but they failed to break the deadlock. The final score was 0-0, highlighting the work still needed for the team.
