Tsygankov scores twice to give Girona vital 2-1 win at Real Sociedad in Spanish
league
MADRID (AP) --- Ukrainian striker Viktor Tsygankov scored twice in the last 15
minutes as Girona rallied for a 2-1 win at Real Sociedad on Friday for its
first away win of the Spanish league season.
Gonalo Guedes opened the scoring for Sociedad with a superb strike 10 minutes
before halftime but Tsygankov lifted Girona out of the relegation zone with a
decisive double in the 76th and 84th minutes.
His first rounded off a quick counterattack after a nice pass by Moroccan
Azzedine Ounahi and his second was a cheeky backheel from a cross by Alex
Moreno.
The result means Girona moves up to 17th, one point and three places behind
Sociedad.
"In the second half we made fools of ourselves," Sociedad midfielder Igor
Zubeldia said. "Any team from any division can beat us when we play like this.
... We completely fell apart."
