Laliga: Girona Beat Cadiz To Secure European Qualification

Girona moved a step closer to securing Champions League qualification with an emphatic 4-1 win over Cadiz in LaLiga on Saturday, which ensured they will play European football next season.

Eric Garcia, Ivan Martin, Artem Dovbyk and Cristian Portu struck for the Catalan minnows, third, who moved 10 points clear of fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao.

Although their unlikely title challenge eventually ran out of steam, a top-four finish would be a remarkable achievement for Girona in only their fourth season in LaLiga.

After Athletic could only draw against Granada on Friday, Michel Sanchez's side capitalised in the race for the top four. Their victory guarantees them at least a Europa Conference League spot next season.
