Girona has a new hero in Azzedine Ounahi, who became the first Girona player to score in a World Cup knockout stage. The Moroccan midfielder scored a double in Morocco's win over Canada, earning him a place in Girona's history.

What happened in the match?

Morocco's win over Canada was led by Ounahi, who demonstrated his talent and skill on the field. The '8' blanc-i-vermell scored two goals and led his team to victory, allowing them to advance to the World Cup quarterfinals.

Why is it important for Girona?

Ounahi's performance is excellent news for Girona, as the midfielder has a contract until 2030, but is expected to leave the club this summer. Several LaLiga clubs are closely watching his situation, and the player himself prefers to wait until the World Cup is over before deciding his future.

What's next for Ounahi and Girona?

Ounahi's valuation continues to rise, making him one of the most sought-after midfielders in the market. With a 53-point gap to leaders Barcelona and a recent form of 0W-3D-2L, Girona is in 19th place in LaLiga, with 41 points and 39 goals scored in the season. The team's last result was a 1-1 draw against Elche on May 23, 2026. Ounahi's situation and his possible departure from the club will be key to Girona's future, as the team seeks to improve its position in the table and increase its competitiveness in the league.
