Girona drew 1–1 with Real Madrid on Sunday after Moroccan midfielder Azzedine Ounahi smashed in a brilliant goal that denied the Spanish giants a return to the top of La Liga.

Ounahi broke the deadlock with a clean finish that stunned the Bernabéu and lifted Girona’s belief as the second half opened.

Real Madrid responded with urgency when Vinícius Júnior won a penalty, and Kylian Mbappé converted it in the 67th minute to bring the match level.

Real Madrid pushed forward aggressively and controlled large stretches of possession, yet the hosts struggled to turn that dominance into a winning goal.

Girona resisted the pressure and protected the draw through the late stages, leaving Madrid frustrated for a third straight league match.

Madrid arrived in the game after dropping points against Rayo Vallecano in a goalless stalemate and sharing the spoils with Elche in a 2–2 contest. Sunday’s result extended that run and allowed Barcelona to reclaim the top spot in the table.

Barcelona now sit first with 34 points after defeating Alavés 2–1 on Saturday, while Madrid remain second with 33 points.

The single point keeps Girona steady and adds another highlight to Ounahi’s growing influence in La Liga.

Madrid leave the match knowing they created enough chances to win, but Girona’s resilience and Ounahi’s decisive strike shaped the story of the evening.
