Mir's Masterclass: Elche Obliterates Girona in Devastating Show of Intensity
Skip It Futmetrix Score: 28/100. Elche ends a four-match losing streak with a ruthless 3-0 dismantling that exposes Girona's fragile defence and deepens their relegation nightmare.
The Brace That Broke Girona
Rafa Mir delivered a masterclass in clinical finishing, his two-goal salvo arriving in the 51st and 57th minutes to seal Girona's fate. The framework was already in place when Germán Valera opened the scoring in the 40th minute, courtesy of Héctor Fort's assist. But Mir's intensity in the second-half onslaught—three goals in 17 minutes—transformed a contest into a rout. His 9.2 rating encapsulates a performance that left Girona's backline in tatters at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero.
Girona's Descent Accelerates
The visitors arrived in freefall, languishing in 18th place with just 12 points from 14 matches and a goal difference of minus 13. Today's hammering merely confirmed what the statistics already screamed: Girona is sinking. With only four shots on target and an expected goals figure of 0.93, they were spectators to their own demise. Elche controlled the balance with 58% possession and a commanding 91% pass accuracy, suffocating any creative spark Girona might have mustered. The gulf in class was stark.
Núñez Orchestrates the Midfield
Álvaro Núñez was the conductor of Elche's symphony, threading two key passes that fed the home side's relentless attack. His 8.2 rating underscored the stakes of controlling the tempo when your opponent crumbles. For Elche, this was redemption after four defeats in five outings—a clinical, suffocating display that showcased what they're capable of. Eleven shots, eight from inside the box, three converted with lethal precision. This is the Elche that can climb the table: direct, efficient, and merciless.
Key Questions
What made Rafa Mir the Man of the Match?
Two goals in six minutes (51', 57') and a 9.2 rating. Mir was lethal in the box when Girona's defence crumbled.
How is the Futmetrix Score calculated?
The Futmetrix Score (0-100) combines multiple factors: match intensity, competitive balance, stakes importance, and entertainment value to help you decide if this match is worth watching.
Desperation derby: Elche and Girona fight for survival
Average Entertainment Futmetrix Score: 48/100. The Stakes are brutal—both teams are drowning in the lower reaches of La Liga, and this head-to-head clash is a straight shootout for points that could mean the difference between staying up and going down.
The Setup
Elche sits 11th with 16 points, but their Form is alarming: three defeats in five matches have them spiraling. Girona, meanwhile, are in freefall at 18th with just 12 points, clinging to survival by their fingernails despite two recent wins. The Balance here is deceptive—both teams are trapped in the same nightmare, but Girona is closer to the abyss. Every possession matters; every mistake echoes.
Key Battle
Matías Dituro (Elche) vs Cristhian Stuani (Girona). The Elche keeper has been a wall in recent action (9.2 rating last time out), but Stuani is a genuine threat—three goals in four matches make him Girona's primary offensive weapon. If Dituro shuts down Stuani, Elche controls this match.
Our Prediction
Elche 1-0 Girona. The hosts, with more points in the bank and defensive stability, exploit Girona's fragility. Visitors will press but crack under pressure; Elche strike on the counter. Iñaki Peña keeps it tight at the back, but Stuani will have one chance that goes begging.
Key Questions
Should I watch this match?
Only if relegation drama grips you. No spectacle here, but pure tension—every error is magnified.
What's the predicted outcome?
Elche 1-0. Home team leverages better table position and defensive solidity to edge a desperate rival.
Where are Elche and Girona in the league table?
Elche 11th with 16 points. Girona 18th with 12 points. A four-point gap in the relegation battle.
What is Elche's current form?
Alarming. Three losses in five games (LDDLL). Only one win in their last four outings.
Who is the in-form player to watch?
Cristhian Stuani (Girona): 3 goals in 4 matches, averaging 6.9 rating. Girona's primary attacking threat.
How is the Futmetrix Score calculated?
The Futmetrix Score (0-100) combines multiple factors: match intensity, competitive balance, stakes importance, and entertainment value to help you decide if this match is worth watching.
