Liga: Araujo rescues FC Barcelona against Girona

FC Barcelona secured a 2-1 victory over Girona this Saturday on Matchday 9 of La Liga EA Sports. The win was clinched in dramatic fashion in the dying seconds, thanks to Ronald Araujo, who netted the winner in the 93rd minute.

In this fiercely contested Catalan derby, both teams were desperate for three points following the international break. Barcelona struck first through Pedri, who produced a superbly placed shot, but Girona quickly responded with a stunning acrobatic finish from Axel Witsel.

The remainder of the match was intense and wide open. Girona carved out several clear chances to take the lead, but couldn't convert. And just when it looked like the points would be shared, Araujo came to Barça's rescue right at the death.

Thanks to this victory, Hansi Flick's men have regained momentum and, at least for now, reclaimed the top spot in La Liga.
