Girona's defense was incredibly fragile, even in the opening minutes of the match, making it easy for Rayo's players to penetrate. Furthermore, I also found their goalkeeper, P. Ganzzaniga, to be in poor form. He made several blunders and costly errors, even receiving a red card near the end of the first half, further hurting the team.

Playing with only 10 men and trailing 3-0, Girona could only accept the situation. However, they were fortunate enough to score a goal in the first half. While this goal didn't change anything, it at least saved them from being too humiliated, especially as Girona were playing at home.

Moving on to the Villarreal vs. Real Oviedo match, Villarreal also seemed to have the advantage in the first leg, as Oviedo's defensive midfielder, Relina, was sent off for a red card just minutes before the match. As we witnessed, after Oviedo was reduced to 10 men, Villarreal immediately scored two goals against Oviedo, securing the win.
