Granada•GoalkeeperBurgos controlled nearly every facet of this match statistically, racking up 19 shots to Granada's 3 and dominating possession 63-37, yet found themselves undone by a clinical away side. Pedro Alemañ's 25th-minute strike, set up by Sergio Rodelas, proved to be the only goal that mattered, with Granada's goalkeeper making 6 saves to frustrate the hosts all afternoon. The match swung firmly in Burgos's favor in stoppage time when they won a penalty, but Jorge Pascual - on just 35 minutes after replacing Rodelas - produced a crucial save to deny the hosts an equalizer. For Burgos, sitting in the relegation zone, this will sting badly given the dominance shown; for Granada, battling for positions higher up the table, it's a priceless three points stolen on the road through defensive resilience and a moment of individual brilliance.
