“We're euphoric, we needed this win. It has been quite a while since we last won and we're in a tricky position. We showed defiance, and that's what gives me peace of mind.” Stuani said.

The result lifted Girona six points clear of the relegation zone with four matches remaining. Mallorca stayed in ninth.
