Girona ended Real Madrid’s four-game La Liga win streak with a stunning 2-1 defeat of the defending champions on Sunday.
Isco began the scoring for the defending champions — the Spain international cruising away from two defenders in the box before curling a left-footed shot out of goalkeeper Bono’s reach.
But the hosts replied and snatched the lead with a decisive four-minute stretch to start the second half.
Cristhian Stuani evened the scoreline in the 54th minute, when he latched onto a loose ball and fired his low shot past Kiko Casilla from inside the box.
And Portu sealed the points four minutes later, sensationally back-heeling Pablo Maffeo’s low cross to the delight of the home faithful.
The result keeps Real in a tie for third place with city rivals Atletico Madrid, eight points behind leaders Barcelona. Girona move up to 11th.
