Lewandowski knocked out! Is this the new top scorer in La Liga? 7-0!
The league season in Europe is ending, and fans are slowly starting to think about Euro 2024. The last round of La Liga started on Friday. At the very beginning we received the match between Girona and Granada. The hosts won the match 7-0, and Artem Dowbyk scored three goals, taking the lead in the scorers’ standings! Does Robert Lewandowski still have a chance for this title? It would take a miracle.
7-0! Such results at the highest level do not happen often and even the fans of Granada – the second weakest team in La Liga this season – did not expect a defeat of this size. However, they had time to get used to subsequent losses, because Granada won only four times throughout the season, and in May they lost all matches.
Girona defeats Granada. Dovbyk will become the top scorer?
The first goal in this match was scored only in the 30th minute, which was quite late considering the final result. Eric Garcia beat the Granada goalkeeper with a powerful header. Just three minutes later it was 2-0. Viktor Tsyhankov finished Miguel Gutierrez’s pass with a shot at the short post. Just before the break, Girona scored a goal to make it 3-0 after Artem Dowbyk converted the penalty.
After the break, Girona continued to score. In the 54th minute, Tsyhankov scored his second goal. Savio’s pass passed all Granada defenders and the Ukrainian only had to direct the ball into the net.
Granada’s situation even worsened in the 61st minute when Facundo Pellistri received a yellow card for dragging an opponent. It was his second individual penalty in the match, so he had to leave the field.
Girona took advantage of the opportunity and scored more goals. In the 75th minute, Artem Dowbyk overtook the intervening defender and beat the goalkeeper again with a light shot. In the 78th minute, Cristhian Stuani pushed the ball into the net from close range. The fun ended with Artem Dowbyk, who scored the third goal in the match in the 90th minute. He converted the penalty kick again. The Ukrainian’s hat-trick means that he took the lead in the competition for the top scorer’s title.
Who will be the top scorer in La Liga? Lewandowski would need a miracle
It seems that Dowbyk is competing for this distinction only with Alexander Sorloth, who has scored 23 goals so far, which is one less than the Ukrainian. On Saturday at 2:00 p.m. the Norwegian will have the opportunity to overtake him, because Villarreal will play away against Osasuna.
And Robert Lewandowski? Everything indicates that he will not become La Liga’s top scorer this season. The captain of the Polish national team has scored 18 goals so far, so he would have to do an incredible feat to overtake Dowbyk and Sorloth at the end of the competition. Barcelona will play against Sevilla on Sunday. The previous match between these teams ended with a victory for Robert Lewandowski’s team 1-0.
This is what the competition for the title of top scorer in La Liga looks like:
- Artem Dovbyk – 24 goals
- Alexander Sorloth – 23 goals
- Jude Bellingham – 19 goals
- Robert Lewandowski – 18 goals
- Antoine Griezmann – 16 goals
- Ante Budimir – 16 goals
