This victory propelled Girona past Real Madrid, who had briefly taken the top spot after their 4-1 triumph over Villarreal the previous night.

Michel Sanchez's squad continued their impressive form, building on last weekend's remarkable victory against FC Barcelona. Girona showcased a blend of solid defensive strategies and effective attacking maneuvers.

Couto and Savio orchestrated the flanks for Girona, with the opening goal arriving in the 23rd minute when Couto's shot, though initially blocked, fell favourably to Artem Dovbyk, who capitalized on the opportunity from close range.

Portu, making his debut start of the season, doubled the lead in the 42nd minute, delivering a right-footed strike from inside the box after Couto skillfully navigated past two defenders to set up the forward.

Although Alaves initiated the second half seeking better control, Dovbyk extended Girona's lead to 3-0 from the penalty spot after Alaves' Ruben Duarte impeded Couto's run into the area with a body check.

Dovbyk executed the penalty flawlessly down the center, with Alaves' keeper Antonio Sivera diving to his left.

Girona is now set to face Real Betis in their upcoming fixture on Thursday.
