First Team | Sunday, 09 November 2025

Bàsquet Girona has won for the second time in a row against Barça in Fontajau this 2025 (96-78). After a favorable start for the Barça team, the entry of Pepe Vildoza (9 points in the 1st quarter) coincided with Girona’s comeback, from 6-9 to 19-10. Girona’s final avalanche of three-pointers in the first quarter (ending with 6) allowed them to generate a new advantage of +12 in the first ten minutes (30-18). The defenses tightened up in the second quarter, especially Barça’s, which managed to close the gap, but the midday MVPs Pep and Otis managed to hold the team together and finish off the Blaugrana with a three-pointer each in the last minute of play, which catapulted the advantage to +14 (47-33).

At the restart, the energy was Girona’s and therefore the pace and the score as well, reaching a 23-point advantage. The dominance of the rebound, the points in the paint and the continuity on the outside, the main tonics of the match, have given wings to the Girona team, who have also grown in defense especially in this third quarter. Despite the three-pointers by the Blaugrana, the Girona team has continued to maintain the difference in the score and has been able to celebrate the second consecutive victory at home with an exhibition against an entire Barça (96-78).
