    Miguel Gutierrez

    Great finish!

    Girona come sweeping forward again and this time Miguel Gutierrez - the Girona left-back who at times is playing as an extra forward - does not miss this time!

    He dribbles the ball into the box, takes a look for a team-mate, and decides to have a crack - smashing the ball past Inaki Pena to put the visitors back in front.

    Barcelona 1-1 Girona

    Really nice build-up play by Girona, once again giving Barcelona concerns on the counter before slowing things down and putting together a crisp sequence of passes.

    Miguel Gutierrez takes a touch but shoots just wide. So close!

    Barcelona 1-1 Girona

    Successive corners for Barcelona, taken by Raphinha on the right. One is sent into the box, the other is played short to Frenkie de Jong, but neither comes to anything.

    Barcelona 1-1 Girona

    Daley Blind tries to play in Viktor Tsygankov but the Ukrainian slips just before he receives the ball on the edge of the box. Unfortunate, but more positive play by the visitors.

    Barcelona 1-1 Girona

    Viktor Tsygankov drives Girona forward and plays the ball to Artem Dovbyk with Barcelona on the run, but the striker's first touch isn't great and the hosts recover. A better spell for Girona here.

    Joao Cancelo is the next to go close but Paulo Gazzaniga is equal to the Portugal international's shot at his near post.

    Barcelona 1-1 Girona

    Ilkay Gundogan takes aim from distance but his shot his blocked by the first defender.

    That's the 13th shot of the opening 30 minutes. Great entertainment.

    Barcelona 1-1 Girona

    Approaching the half hour mark and there has rarely been a moment for the players to catch their breath.

    One goal apiece and plenty for both managers to be encouraged by.

    Barcelona 1-1 Girona

    Concern for Girona as they concede possession in their own half, but they do well to win it back quickly and they're off on the break again.

    Miguel Gutierrez collects the ball in the box but the angle is against him as he pulls a low left-footed shot agonisingly wide of the far post.

    Barcelona 1-1 Girona

    Better from Girona, pressing higher up the field and doing a much better job of keeping Barcelona away from Paulo Gazzaniga's goal as a result.

    Barcelona 1-1 Girona

    There's a great atmosphere at the Olympic Stadium, Barcelona's temporary home, and the supporters of both sides have been treated to a breathless match so far.

    Artem Dovbyk heads wide as Girona just offer Barcelona a reminder of their threat on the counter, but it's still the home side dominating for the time being.

    Almost the equaliser!

    Raphinha meets a cross at the back post but Paulo Gazzaniga makes himself big and smothers the shot.

    Barcelona 0-1 Girona

    Girona have avoided defeat in their last eight matches when scoring first in a La Liga match, a run stretching back to May.

    However, Barcelona have not lost when conceding the opening goal in La Liga this season, winning twice and drawing on three occasions.

    It's been all Barcelona since Girona's opener.

    Artem Dovbyk

    The ecstatic away fans are swinging their scarves, Girona lead at Barcelona!

    Barcelona had been building momentum but Xavi's side are undone by a slick counter attack, Viktor Tsygankov stays onside to meet a throughball and tees up Artem Dovbyk for a simple tap-in.

    Girona are top of the league as things stand...

    Barcelona 0-0 Girona

    Neat link-up play between Robert Lewandowski and Joao Felix, but the final pass is lacking to slice open the Girona back line.

    Barcelona 0-0 Girona

    Girona insist on building from the back but Barcelona are pressing with great intensity high up the pitch.

    A misplaced pass almost proves costly, but Girona recover and hoof the ball clear.

    Great defending!

    Pedri drives to the line and cuts the ball back for Robert Lewandowski, but David Lopez is tight to him and blocks the shot.
