Alaves and Girona played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in La Liga, with the home side salvaging a point late on. The match was defined by clinical finishing, as both teams scored twice from a combined 27 shots.
Alaves struck first through Luis Boye's fifth-minute strike, but Girona equalized through Victor Vanat's effort shortly after. The away side then took the lead in the second half through Viktor Tsygankov's superb goal, but Boye popped up again in the 89th minute to level the scores.
Tactically, Girona's possession-based approach (55% ball control) and numerical advantage in midfield proved problematic for Alaves.
