Girona FC delivered one of their best performances of the season this Saturday, defeating Athletic Club 3-0 at Montilivi to move further away from the La Liga relegation battle.

The scoring opened early in the 4th minute when Hugo Rincón scored against his parent club. Despite heavy pressure from the visitors in the second half, goalkeeper Gazzaniga kept a clean sheet with several world-class saves against Guruzeta and Laporte.
Late goals from Ounahi and Echeverri sealed the three points for Míchel's squad, bringing their total to 34 points and providing a comfortable nine-point margin over the bottom three.
