CE Sabadell played a notable match against Girona FC, ending in a 2-2 draw that leaves good sensations in the final stretch of the pre-season. The 'arlequinat' team reacted to the two rival goals, with Rodrigo Escudero scoring the equalizer late in the game.
The squad coached by Ferran Costa faced a Second Division rival, Girona, which featured players like Gazzaniga, Stuani, and Vanat. Girona dominated possession in the first half, and Jastin García opened the scoring after a rebound.
The Centre d'Esports, true to its playing style, grew more comfortable on the field. A goal by Óscar Sanz was disallowed for offside, and later, another goal from Joel Priego was also invalidated due to a potential positional offside by Rahmani. Pere Pons tried his luck with a shot that went wide.
In the second half, Sabadell's reward came early. Genar Fornés scored on the rebound past Gazzaniga after a corner. Girona regained the lead from the penalty spot, with Vanat converting the spot-kick.
Following substitutions made by Ferran Costa, Rodrigo Escudero took charge of the offensive operations. The player, who has been prominent during pre-season, came close to scoring twice before finally finding the net.
Towards the end of the match, Girona was reduced to ten men due to David López's second yellow card. Sabadell pressed, and Xavi Moreno was close to equalizing, but it was Escudero who, in the 92nd minute, finished off a precise cross from Xavi Moreno to secure the final 2-2 draw.
Overall, the new CE Sabadell has shown good sensations and will conclude their pre-season against Olot.
