In an exciting La Liga matchup on Monday, Christian Stuani’s late penalty secured a 1-1 draw for Girona against Espanyol in Barcelona, Spain.
The 38-year-old Uruguayan forward managed to score with just three minutes left on the clock, preventing Espanyol from claiming three crucial points in their battle to steer clear of relegation.
Espanyol, who are based in Barcelona, found themselves precariously positioned at 15th in the 20-team league, a mere two points above the relegation limit.
Meanwhile, Girona held the 13th spot, maintaining a slightly more comfortable five-point distance from danger.
This late equalizer was particularly disheartening for Espanyol’s Jofre Carreras, who had put his team in the lead early in the second half.
Carreras’ remarkable solo goal, a serious contender for the goal of the season, came just four minutes after the break.
Gathering the ball in his defensive half, he embarked on an exhilarating run before unleashing a powerful shot from nearly 25 meters out, finding the back of the net in spectacular fashion.
