4th time lucky for Girona

GIRONA was promoted to La Liga for the first time in its history after drawing 0-0 with Zaragoza on Sunday. The result confirms it will finish second in the Spanish second division behind winner Levante, with one game to spare, joining fellow Catalan sides Barcelona and Espanyol in the top flight next season.

Girona, founded in 1930, has come close to reaching the top flight on multiple occasions, with defeats in the playoffs in 2013, 2015 and 2016. The dull draw suited both teams perfectly, Zaragoza’s point also confirming it will stay in the same tier after flirting with relegation.
