Las Palmas takes down Girona behind an Álex Muñoz
Girona suffered a 1-0 defeat at lowly Las Palmas as a first-half goal from Alex Munoz proved decisive in LaLiga on Saturday.
Monuz put Las Palmas ahead three minutes before the break with a first-time strike, capitalising on a cross that sailed over the box to find him unmarked.
The visitors showed little urgency in chasing an equaliser, allowing Las Palmas to control most of the match and the home side came close to doubling their lead.
As the clock ran down, Girona intensified their efforts to find a leveller but their momentum was disrupted by injury stoppages and Las Palmas secured the victory.
After defying expectations to finish third last season, Girona now sit 13th with 12 points, while Las Palmas are just outside the relegation zone in 17th with nine.
