Azzedine Onahi, the Moroccan international midfielder, played a pivotal role in Girona's recent match against Athletic Bilbao, contributing with a goal in a decisive 3-0 win on Saturday at the Montilivi stadium. This match marked Onahi's first start for Girona since recovering from an injury he sustained during the Africa Cup of Nations 2025. His participation has been limited since recovery, as the team was cautious about exacerbating his condition, making his return to the starting lineup a significant boost for the club.

The victory was crucial for Girona, who had faced a string of disappointing results with two draws and a loss in their previous three matches. With this win, Girona managed to lift their points tally to 34, placing them in 12th position in the La Liga standings, just one point behind Athletic Bilbao, who are sitting in 10th. The match also showcased the team's defensive and offensive capabilities, highlighted by Hugo Rincón's opening goal before Onahi found the net.

This performance not only underlines Onahi's importance to Girona's aspirations in the league but also reflects the player's resilience following his injury. As the season progresses, Girona will look to build on this momentum to improve their standing, with Onahi being a key figure in their midfield, bringing creativity and energy to the team as they aim for further success in La Liga.
