MADRID —
Jon Guridi scored a goal late in stoppage time to help Alavés rescue a point at home on Friday, drawing 2-2 with Girona in the Spanish League.
The header in the 9th minute represented the midfielder’s second goal of the game and just his third in 33 starts this season.
“The reward for the goal in the last minute, well, the ones I have had this season were completed today,” he said.
Alavés came into the match with consecutive victories against Atlético de Madrid, Celta de Vigo and Valencia, but Eric García was responsible for putting Girona ahead 1-0 with a header just after four minutes.
The home team equalized eight minutes later when Guridi converted a precise cut-back from Giuliano Simeone.
A magnificent finish by Yangel Herrera declared the score 2-1 two minutes before the break.
Alavés was in eleventh place and Girona in second, two points ahead of Barcelona, which has one game less
