La Liga: Girona drop points in Almeria, Athletic Bilbao go third

MADRID, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) -- Girona wasted a chance to go three points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga on Sunday when they were held to a 0-0 draw away to the bottom side Almeria.

Almeria went into the game without a win and just five draws from their first 19 games of the season, but were the better side and would have won but for several excellent saves from Girona keeper Paulo Gazzaniga.
