Valencia CF vs Girona

Valencia claimed a huge win at Mestalla on Saturday, edging past Girona 2-1 in a tense La Liga survival battle. The decisive moment came in a frantic nine-minute second-half spell that swung the game entirely the hosts' way. A goalless first half gave way to a burst of action after the restart. Largie Ramazani broke the deadlock in the 50th minute, and Umar Sadiq doubled the advantage nine minutes later to put Valencia firmly in control. Joel Roca pulled one back for Girona in the 63rd minute, setting up a nervy finale — with seven minutes of added time — but the hosts held firm despite the pressure. The three points are precious for Valencia, who move closer to safety in what has been a difficult season. For Girona, it is another damaging blow in their own relegation scrap, extending their wait for a crucial win.
