In a goalless first half, both teams had chances, with Real Madrid’s Rodrygo, who was spearheading the assault in the absence of Karim Benzema, going closest for the hosts when his effort came off the post.

Real Madrid’s Rodrygo thought he had won the game at the finish when he wrestled for the ball with Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga in a goalmouth scramble, but the referee disallowed his goal because the keeper was in control of the ball when the Brazilian shoved it in.
Los Blanco’s situation was made much worse when midfielder Toni Kroos was sent off in additional time after collecting a second yellow card. Girona, who are currently 16th in the table, got away with a crucial point as their players collapsed to the ground in relief.
