Girona 0-0 Zaragoza: Catalans finally promoted after various last-gasp failures
They have never played in the top flight in their near 87 year history
There was a pitch invasion at the end as fans celebrated at long last
One point and everyone left happy. Girona were promoted in second place behind Levante to La Liga, while Zaragoza confirmed they will be staying in the second tier. The 0-0 draw which was extremely dull, unsurprisingly so, was greeted raucously by the home fans, who invaded the pitch.
