A fracture rules Unax Agote out for 93 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Girona will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Girona win it in stoppage time
The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 96th minute. Osasuna will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Michel Noël scores twice — 9.02
Two goals and a mark of 9.02 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Both of them Minsu Kim's — 8.36
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.36, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Words at Girona training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dawda Camara is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Minsu Kim the difference as Girona beat Osasuna
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Minsu Kim. 4‑3 against Osasuna, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Andreas Grillitsch gets the move he always wanted
Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Andreas Grillitsch has just signed for Girona, and for once the answer mattered.
Match27 Oct 2040
No clean sheets in sight for Girona
4 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

The manager makes an example of Anthony Pavlešić
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
