MADRID — Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga has made three penalty saves against three different players before his team won with a penalty kick at the other end. Host Girona beat Athletic Bilbao 2-1 in the Spanish league, thanks to Gazzaniga's heroics in goal. The 32-year-old Argentine stopped a first-half penalty kick, taken by Athletic's Alex Berenguer, and two more in the second half from Inaki Williams and then Ander Herrera after a video review required Williams' kick to be retaken. Cristhian Stuani converted the winning penalty for Girona nine minutes into second-half stoppage time.
