Herrera header seals back-to-back wins for Girona
Yangel Herrera's header late in the first half proved enough for Girona to see off Getafe 1-0 in LaLiga.
It means Girona has won back-to-back LaLiga games for only the second time this season.
Herrera headed home in the 42nd minute of a match devoid of much in the way of attacking quality from either team.
Indeed, there were just 11 shots throughout, with Getafe having eight and Girona three, with the hosts failing to get any of their attempts on target.
The result lifted struggling Girona to 18 points and into ninth place, with Getafe 17th on 10 points.
Herrera's goal was his second in the league this season, with his first having also been a header.
Only Thierno Barry, with three, has scored more headed goals in LaLiga this term.
Getafe, meanwhile, has won only one of its 13 matches in LaLiga in 2024-2025, which matches its worst record at this stage of a season, set in 2021-2022.
