Portu then back-heeled in the winner in the second half, four minutes after ex-Middlesbrough striker Cristhian Stuani’s equaliser.
The result leaves Zinedine Zidane’s side in third place after 10 games, behind unbeaten Barca and Valencia, while Girona collected just their third victory of the season to move up to 11th.
