Solis snatches late win for Girona at Alaves
Jhon Solis struck a 91st-minute winner to snatch an underwhelming Girona a 1-0 victory over Deportivo Alaves in LaLiga.
Girona was bright in the first half, dominating the ball, but offered little in terms of threat, with Arnaut Danjuma coming closest in stoppage-time at the end of the first half, hitting the side netting.
Alaves, which is still searching for a first win under Eduardo Coudet, improved as the game went on, but like its opponent lacked a finishing touch.
The hosts may feel aggrieved that they did not get a penalty after a push by Arnau Martinez on Tomas Conechny in the box, but no VAR intervention came.
Alaves's misery was then compounded in the first minute of stoppage-time as Solis pounced on a mistake from Moussa Diarra to net the winner.
Girona moved up to seventh in LaLiga, leapfrogging Real Sociedad, which does not play until Tuesday (AEDT), while Alaves remains 16th, two points above the drop zone.
