GIRONA, Spain (AP) - Oriol Romeu scored late to give Girona a 2-1 win over Valladolid in a meeting of recently promoted sides in the Spanish league on Friday.

Reinier Carvalho put Girona in front in the 21st minute when he scored from a pass by Aleix GarcÃa after he recovered the ball near the area.

Valladolid's Monchu RodrÃguez equalized in the 38th with a shot from outside the area.

Valladolid lost Sergi Guardiola, Luis PÃ©rez and Kike PÃ©rez all to injury before Romeu scored the decider with two minutes to go.

Romeu headed in the winner after Santiago Bueno used his head to knock down a free kick to the far post for his teammate to finish off.

Girona's second win in five rounds lifted it into ninth place. Valladolid was left in 14th.
