Girona defeated Villarreal 1-0 at home on Monday, April 6, 2026, thanks to an own goal prior to halfway, according to BBC Sport. The hosts had a clear lead thanks to a deflection by Pau Navarro during stoppage time in the first half.
Girona dominated the game right away, generating many of opportunities with quick passing and explosive offensive runs. Abel Ruiz, who replaced the injured Vladyslav Vanat in the twelfth minute, and Viktor Tsygankov both had important roles. Girona’s persistent pressure produced several corners, although many of them were off-target or blocked. Villarreal goalkeeper Luiz Junior was put to the test by Axel Witsel and Fran Beltran, but he made vital stops to keep the score close.
Nicolas Pepe and Gerard Moreno were often denied opportunities by Villarreal’s solid defence and dependable goalkeeping. Changes made in the second half, such as the addition of Alex Freeman and Tajon Buchanan, had no effect on the outcome, and Girona managed to cling on for a slim 1-0 victory.
