Girona 2–0 Albacete

Girona needed just six minutes to set the tone, Abel Ruíz stabbing home the opener before Albacete had settled into the game, and Donny van de Beek doubled the lead right on the stroke of half-time to put the contest out of reach. The 2-0 scoreline flatters Albacete if anything: sitting rock bottom at 21st with a single point from five games and a five-match losing run, they never looked capable of turning this around, while Girona's win lifts them to eighth on 10 points with three victories from five to steady a shaky WLWWL run. Ruíz's early strike set the ambition and van de Beek's finish before the break took the game away from Albacete before the second half had even begun, leaving the visitors chasing shadows in Segunda División. Two goals inside 43 minutes, one from each side of the pitch, and a beaten Albacete team that had no answer for either. Watch how Ruíz punished a sluggish Albacete start inside six minutes, then see van de Beek's clinical strike right before half-time that finished the contest before it truly began.
