Girona FC gave football lessons to Kerala Blasters as the Spanish top division side thrashed the ISL outfit 5-0 to win the inaugural Toyota Yaris La Liga World tournament here yesterday.


Three minutes before half time, a rare defensive lapse by the Blasters backline led to Eric Montes scoring the first goal, amazingly against the run of play. The lack of communication between the Blasters goalkeeper Naveen Kumar and defense saw Girona winger Pedro Porro easily push one into the open net to make it 2-0 in the 53rd minute.


Four minutes later, Girona skipper Alex Granell scored the third. Aday Benitez's left footer took Blasters' defenders deflection to find the back of the net in the 73rd minute. To add to the home team's woes, Blasters conceded a penalty in the added time. Aleix Garcia smartly placed the ball into the bottom right corner.
