Girona FC secured a crucial point in a 1-1 draw against Levante this Saturday, thanks to a dramatic late equalizer by Joel Roca in the 94th minute.

The match remained deadlock until the second half when Carlos Espí headed the hosts in front in the 51st minute. However, the game shifted when Olasagasti was sent off for a harsh challenge on Vanat, leaving Levante with ten men for the final half-hour.
In the dying moments of the game, Joel Roca found space at the edge of the box and his deflected shot beat goalkeeper Ryan. The result keeps Míchel's team six points clear of the relegation zone.
