Girona broke their streak of poor results with a hard-fought victory over Athletic Bilbao in the 9th round of La Liga.
The standout performer of the match was Girona's goalkeeper, Paulo Gassaniga.
Details: The Girona keeper saved three penalties from Athletic. However, only two of them will be officially recorded— the second penalty was retaken twice, and Paulo handled both attempts from the spot!
Interestingly, Gassaniga became the first goalkeeper in La Liga history to save two penalties from Athletic in a single match.
Recall: Gassaniga has been with Girona since 2022. This season, the 32-year-old Argentine has played in 11 matches across all competitions, conceding 16 goals, with three clean sheets to his name.
