Much was made about the introduction of VAR into LaLiga Santander ahead of the 2018/19 season, yet the campaign’s opening fixture passed without the technology being called upon at any point.
In what was a relatively incident-free match, Girona welcomed newly promoted Real Valladolid to the Estadi Montilivi for a 0-0 draw.
Eusebio Sacristan‘s charges created the better chances on Friday evening but were unable to find the final finish with which to punish the visitors.
For Real Vallodolid, the share of the points represents a strong start to their own domestic season, especially when you consider how Girona themselves challenged for Europa League qualification last term.
