Girona beat Valladolid 3-0 and snapped an unhappy run of six games without a win in La Liga on Friday.
The result lifted Girona two places to eighth while Valladolid stayed second from bottom with just three wins in 18 games.
Valladolid has conceded more goals than any other team but it could do nothing about the opener after 31 minutes. David López’s shot from outside the box took a deflection and wrongfooted goalkeeper Karl Hein.
Hein’s misery continued eight minutes later when he got a hand on Abel Ruiz’s header but could not stop him from doubling Girona’s lead.
Danjuma made it 3-0 for Girona after 80 minutes with a close-range snapshot.
The result came at the end of a turbulent week for Valladolid. The club’s Brazilian owner Ronaldo Nazário said he would sell the club and run for president of the Brazilian Football Confederation.
Valladolid’s former mayor criticized Ronaldo and said he “had made promises he didn’t keep.”
Fans have protested the Brazilian’s stewardship of the club.

Speaking at a press conference, Renard said: "We are here to participate effectively and win. This tournament provides a great platform to work with the players and prepare them for future competitions."
Regarding the team's condition, Renard said that player Hassan Tambakti is ready for action, while Salem Al-Dawsari is "working on regaining full fitness".

He commended Al-Dawsari for his dedication to speeding up his recovery. Meanwhile, Firas Al-Brikan is dealing with an injury, and his availability will depend on further evaluations, said Renard.
Acknowledging the challenges ahead, Renard said: "I accepted this challenge because I believe in the players' capabilities. We must work with team spirit and focus on improvement in the coming period."
As far as the team's opening match against Bahrain is concerned, Renard said: "We are preparing for a tough game. The preparation period was crucial, and our focus now is on delivering a strong performance."
