Like the first game of the league, it's a game with a lot of goals. Girona scored early and Atletico responded with three goals. Griezmann and Morata are playing excellently. I was expecting a game like this, Girona's fall continues and Atletico has set its sights on third place. After this game, the points difference is down to four. Girona, who keep losing away games, might even lose third place at the end of the league. Fortunately the first 4 places play Champions League. Nothing much will change for them.
An early goal from Girona that they couldn't secure for more than 30 minutes before they started getting goals and losing points.
As you said, this game is more important for Atletico Madrid than Girona since they are followed closely by Athletic Bilbao and with these three points they got 4 points closer to Girona and 4 points away from Bilbao for the moment.
Girona last victory in away games were in January this year..
They were quickly surprised by the quick goal scored by Girona, but they responded well. Even though it took time for them to equalize, they managed to equalize before the first half ended, and they were even able to turn things around at the end of the first half. In the second half, it was their turn to score quickly in the first 5 minutes of the second half. Girona, who tried to score goals, always failed in every attack they made.
Atletico Madrid managed to secure their victory and make them safer at least for this week. Girona, who were expected to be able to provide resistance, did their best to do what they could, but unfortunately the results of the match had to say that they lost this match. Now they are only 4 points away from Atletico Madrid, and this is a serious threat for them considering that the remaining matches could make them shift from their current position. Yes, this result is very detrimental for them.
