Girona beat Real Madrid 4-2 in La Liga, with Valentin Castellano scoring all four goals. Castellano’s first goal came in the 12th minute from a cross by Miguel Gutierrez, who was sold to Girona by Madrid in the summer. Castellano’s second goal came 12 minutes later after he beat Eder Militao to a long ball. Vinicius Jr scored for Madrid in the 34th minute, but Castellano completed his hat-trick early in the second half and scored his fourth in the 62nd minute. Lucas Vazquez scored a late consolation goal for Madrid.
Real Sociedad drew with Betis, keeping them six points clear of their nearest rival for a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League. Osasuna won 1-0 away to Cadiz, heightening the home side’s relegation worries. Barcelona could move 14 points clear of Real Madrid if they win away to Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday, while Atletico Madrid can move to within two points of Real Madrid if they win at home to Mallorca.
