The home side squandered an opportunity to take the lead in the eighth minute when Ramírez missed a penalty. 18 minutes later, Dovbyk imitated him on the other side, but his attempt, however, reached the net by a running back López. In the 57th minute, the Ukrainian striker was given a chance for a penalty kick and this time he did not hesitate.
Girona scored on the opponent’s field for the first time since January 28. Las Palmas players extended their winless streak to nine games and lost for the sixth time in a row. They have a lead of 12 points on the relegation zone, they need to win at least six in the remaining five rounds to ensure survival.
In the match between Atlético Madrid and Bilbao, the score was 1-1 at half-time, after the home team De Paul had made the breakthrough in the 15th minute and Nico Williams equalized just before half-time. The “Rojiblancos” then took the game to their side thanks to Correy’s goal in the 52nd minute, and Athletic’s goalkeeper Simón added the insurance ten minutes before the end with an own goal.
Bilbao have not won in four games in a row and are six points behind today’s opponents in the table. Ernesto Valverde’s men have a seven-point lead over sixth-placed San Sebastian.
