The Catalan derby between Girona and Barcelona ended in real drama.
A red card, a disallowed goal, a goal scored and conceded; this match had it all.
Girona won 2-1, with a comeback, thanks to an 87th-minute goal from Fran Beltran.
After a goalless first half, with a missed penalty by Lamine Yamal, the second half brought three goals.
Initially, Barcelona scored through Pau Cubars in the 59th minute.
Then, after three minutes, Girona equalized through Thomas Lemar.
When it seemed like everything was heading towards a draw, Fran Beltran appeared on the scene, scoring for 2-1.
This goal was reviewed by VAR, due to a possible foul on Jules Kounden, but was ultimately accepted.
Barcelona went into action to find the equalizer, even scoring through Robert Lewandowski, but the goal was disallowed due to offside.
While searching for an equalizer, with the ball at Lamine Yamali's feet, Girona's Jean Roca committed a harsh foul and was punished with a red card, in the 98th minute of the match.
Thus, with this loss, Barcelona loses first place in La Liga, falling behind Real by two points.
The "Kings" lead with 60 points, while Barcelona has 58.
Meanwhile, Girona is 12th with 29 points collected./Express newspaper/
