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.

Play off failures in 2013, 2015 and 2016 meant this was was long time coming and they join fellow Catalan sides Barcelona and Espanyol in the top flight.
