Barca have amped up the pressure on Girona but the latter have had all the best chances in this half. All the hosts' game has come from Lamine Yamal's trickery but no cutting edge. And again, Girona break the offside trap as Bryan Gil is through on goal but his shot goes wide.

Ronald Araujo has done it! What a sub that is! The defender, who is playing as a forward, tucks it away past the Girona goalie, to take three points and more so, much-needed confidence ahead of the El Clasico. He won't mid the yellow for the celebration!
