Outstanding performance
Granada•MidfielderGranada secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Cultural Leonesa in a fractious encounter that saw three red cards and ten bookings. Rubén Alcaraz converted an early penalty after just five minutes to give Granada the lead they would never relinquish. Despite Cultural Leonesa enjoying slightly more possession (53%), Granada were more clinical in front of goal with five shots on target compared to their opponents' three. The match descended into chaos in the second half with both teams reduced to nine men - Baïla Diallo and Víctor García both dismissed for Cultural Leonesa, while Granada's Jorge Pascual saw red in stoppage time. This victory keeps Granada firmly in the promotion hunt from third position.
How entertaining was this match?
