The 14th round of La Liga was the stage for a thrilling clash at Montilivi where Girona hosted the giant, Real Madrid. In a well-fought duel that ended in a draw (1-1), Moroccan midfielder Azzedine Ounahi was the hero of the day for the Blanquivermells. With a stunning goal and a remarkable performance, the Moroccan not only disrupted the Madrid players but was also crowned Man of the Match for his exceptional display.
Azzedine Ounahi displayed his offensive intentions from the very first minutes, posing a threat with a long-range attempt from eighteen meters that grazed the post. However, the Moroccan international did not take long to find the net just before halftime. In the 45th minute, after a quick recovery and a good vertical transition, Ounahi capped off a brilliant individual action with a shot that was both powerful and precise. The ball nestled into the top corner, marking the opening goal and igniting a wave of joy in the Montilivi stadium. Despite the pressure and attempts at domination from Real Madrid in the second half, the Merengues only managed to equalize in the 67th minute, thanks to a penalty converted by Mbappé.
This point earned against the Merengues is an excellent addition for Girona, which solidifies its position in the upper part of the La Liga table. After this 14th round, the club temporarily remains in 5th place in the championship, clearly aspiring for European qualification. As for Azzedine Ounahi, his tally stands at 3 goals and 1 assist in La Liga this season.
The Man of the Match title is a well-deserved recognition for Azzedine Ounahi’s accomplished performance, as he managed to carry his team against one of the best formations in the world. Ironically, on the other side of the field, his compatriot Brahim Diaz did not have the opportunity to step onto the Montilivi pitch. The player remained on the bench throughout the match but did not miss the chance to praise the performance of his national team teammate.
