“Unax del Cura opens the scoring to give Mirandés a deserved lead, rewarding their direct and purposeful approach in the opening quarter of an hour.”
Pivotal“José Manuel Arnáiz equalises for Granada after a sustained period of pressure that saw shots from Carlos Fernández Luna and Del Cura himself saved before the leveller finally arrived.”
Pivotal“Javi Hernández restores Mirandés' lead right on the stroke of half-time, a gut-punch moment for Granada that shifted the entire psychological weight of the match heading into the break.”
Pivotal“Del Cura completes his brace to make it 3-1, arriving after a frantic spell of Mirandés pressure that included saved efforts from Pablo Sáenz and Manu Lama and a blocked header from Juanjo, finally putting the result beyond any doubt.”

Outstanding performance
Mirandés•MidfielderMirandés pulled off a thoroughly efficient against-the-run-of-play victory, holding just 37% possession yet generating 18 shots to Granada's 10 and creating five big chances to their opponents' three. The match's narrative was written almost entirely in the first half: Del Cura broke the deadlock on 27 minutes before Arnáiz levelled for Granada on 41, only for Javi Hernández to restore Mirandés' lead just before the whistle in a breathless closing passage of the opening period. Granada, who dominated the ball with 63% possession and 483 passes to Mirandés' 287, were repeatedly undone by their inability to convert dominance into danger — they missed two big chances and mustered only four shots on target across 90 minutes. Del Cura's second goal on 58 minutes, arriving after sustained Mirandés pressure following the restart, killed the contest and confirmed a result that will have significant implications in La Liga 2's promotion and playoff picture. For Granada, the defeat is a damaging one — all the territorial control in the world counts for nothing when the clinical edge belongs to the opposition.
