With chances at a premium in the opening half, it was Real Madrid who snatched their one opening, via the in form Jude Bellingham.
The England international reacted quickest inside the box as a loose ball broke to him on 38 minutes and he fired home his fifth league goal in his last five games.
Bellingham then turned provider on 55 minutes, as his pass in behind the Girona defence was slotted home by Arda Guler, for his first goal of the season.
