Despite Lamine Yamal missing a penalty in the first half, Barcelona took the lead through a Pau Cubarsí header in the 59th minute. However, Girona responded quickly with Lemar equalizing just three minutes later after a clinical assist from Vanat.

The winning goal came in the 87th minute when Fran Beltrán fired a powerful shot from the edge of the box. The match ended in controversy as Barça players protested a foul on Koundé during the build-up, but the goal stood, leaving Barcelona two points behind Real Madrid.
