Thanks for following the match with us! We hope you have enjoyed the meeting and its broadcast. Have a good night and see you next time!
Victory for Granada! A hard-working victory for Diego Martínez's team. Thanks to the goals of Antoñín and Soldado, the Nasrid team is placed five points from the European places, a dream that is still possible mathematically. However, Alavés had options of having been able to tie, at least when the Andalusian team went ahead. Lucas Pérez enjoyed a shot at the post that could have changed the shock. However, the Basque team has not yet secured salvation and will have to look for it at Valladolid's home. For its part, Granada will receive a Valencia in need.

Half an hour until the end of the match in Mendizorroza. Alavés wants to have the ball, but he does not finish finding a shot that could mean goal danger.
The Alavés see how time runs against the current and the result does not accompany. Just over half an hour to go and Granada is very comfortable on the pitch.

First change of the match! Granada did it at rest. Antoñín retires from the field of play and Darwin Machís has entered.
Don't go too far! In just over 10 minutes the start of the second part will take place in Mendizorroza. Neither Alavés nor Granada have said the last word! Until now.
Rest in Vitoria! Momentary victory for Granada thanks to an Antoñín goal in extremis after a rejection found in the rival area. Diego Martínez's team focused on defending and leaving the ball to Alavés after taking the lead on the scoreboard. The babazorros try and dominate now with superiority, but only Lucas Pérez was close to the tie with a shot on the post.
End of the first part! Alavés 0-1 Granada!
The three minutes are confirmed! Eduardo Prieto Iglesias rules that we will go to rest in 48. The first part is over in a few moments! Will there be a psychological goal?
One minute to reach 45 in Mendizorroza. In a few moments we will know the decision of the referee before going to rest. It will be possibly two to three minutes more.
Squeeze the Alavés! The Babazorro team tries it in almost every play now, especially on the left wing. However, they do not finish finding a way to break the Andalusian defense to finish again.
Cardboard for Antoñín! He was late and collides with Roberto Jiménez. He slipped when he saw it wasn't coming. Hard hit and worthy of the card.
Trouble is formed! Much turmoil with all the players after a collision between two players. The referee has the cards in his hand …
AL PALO LUCAS PÉREZ! The Galician striker from Alavés hooked it with his left as he fell from the sky, but he hit the wood before the gaze of Escandell, who could do nothing but pray!
The game is resumed!
Pause for hydration!
WHAT MAGALLAN HAS FAILED! A free kick that found a defender in the Alavés defender completely alone in the front of the small area, but he practically cleared before finishing off!
GOOOL! Alavés 0-1 GRANADA! He completely picked up only Roberto Jiménez's rejection when shot by Antonio Puertas, he controlled and looked for the shot, but the goalkeeper did not recover the position on time and marks the first of the day!
STOP OF ROBERTO JIMÉNEZ! First approach with great danger! Antonio Puertas was left alone in the area and tried to place it at the far post, but a great stretch by the goalkeeper prevents the goal!
We reached the equator of the first half in Mendizorroza. The draw to zero continues to prevail on the scoreboard and neither Alavés nor Granada have enjoyed a clear opportunity to score this afternoon.
Alavés players protest. Tomás Pina committed a foul on Foulquier and it seemed that he stole cleanly in midfield and in a fast starting position for attack, but the referee indicated an infraction.
We passed the quarter hour of the game. Equality is a constant tonic of shock. Alavés, little by little, tries to own the ball against a Granada that begins to close behind.
Ximo Navarro has not arrived! Aleix Vidal's complicated ball from the left to the far post, very close to the baseline, which did not finish off the side by a few centimeters!
Chance for Alavés. She ended up rejected by the Granada defense. Center from left wing that Vallejo cleared poorly. Aleix Vidal picked up the rejection and looked for goal, but José Antonio Martínez managed to steal his wallet.
Granada tried with a long ball, but Soldado was unable to get there and the Alavés defense let the leather pass, which came tamely to Roberto Jiménez's hands. The Nasrids squeeze.
First minutes of the game without a clear dominator on the field of play. Granada, apparently a favorite, was looking to have the ball and organize the attack when Azeez was fouled by Camarasa in midfield.
ROLL THE BALL IN MENDIZORROZA!
Players from both teams are already jumping onto the pitch! In a few moments, when all the protagonists are in their respective positions, the match will begin! Let's go with it!
Don't go too far! The clash between Alavés and Granada will take place at 19:30! Babazarros look for points in order to approach the permanence in front of some Nasrids who do not abandon the European dream! We wait for you!
Granada coach Diego Martínez has won his only match on the bench against Alavés, in the first round match in LaLiga this season, 3-0.
Asier Garitano, Alavés coach, has won all three of the five games he has played as a coach against Granada in all competitions (2D), including the only two matches he has played at home against the Nasrid team.
Granada is the rival against whom Alavés player Víctor Camarasa has scored the most goals in LaLiga (three), and has participated in three goals in his two games in the competition against the Nasrids with the team from Vitoria (two goals and one assistance).
Carlos Fernández, a Granada footballer, is going through his worst streak of unmarked games in LaLiga in 2020 (three) by not scoring in any of his last seven shots (six of them on the last day against Eibar).
Granada have not lost in their last four trips in LaLiga (1V 3E) and never in their history in the top flight have they linked five without defeat.
After four home games without losing in LaLiga (3V 1E), Alavés lost 0-1 in their last match in Mendizorrotza against Osasuna. He has not lost two in a row in his feud in the competition since April / May 2019 with Abelardo Fernández as coach.
Granada have nine trips without victory to the Basque Country in LaLiga (1E 8D), conceding a total of 26 goals (2.9 per game) and losing the last six consecutively.
Alavés are undefeated at home in the six previous encounters between First and Second Division with Granada (3V 3E), conceding just two goals and leaving their goal to zero on four occasions.
Alavés and Granada have met thirteen times between the First and Second Division with five wins for Granada, four for Alavés, and dividing the draws (four), although the Andalusians have only lost to the Basques in one of the last six games between them (3V 2E 1D).
Alavés and Granada have only met once in Mendizorrotza in the highest category. It was in September 2016 with 3-1 favorable to Vitoria thanks to goals from Edgar, Camarasa and Deyverson.
The referee in charge of directing the clash between the Basque team and the Andalusian squad is Eduardo Prieto Iglesias, who belongs to the Navarre Football Committee.
The absence of Pacheco is surprising, he is down today due to a muscle injury. The rest of the eleven formed by Alavés is based, practically, on the great names of the team, who after losing to Atlético de Madrid will want to score points again.
And on the part of the Babazorro team, Asier Garitano decides to go out with (4-4-2): Roberto Jiménez – Ximo Navarro, Laguardia, Magallán, Rubén Duarte – Aleix Vidal, Camarasa, Tomás Pina, Rioja – Joselu and Lucas Pérez.
The Nasrid team goes through a bad streak. He has not won since June 12 and once again has very clear rotations in order to now add three points again. Only Puertas, Yangel Herrera, Vallejo and Escandell repeat in the XI regarding the defeat against Eibar.
Let's go with the clash lineups! Diego Martínez decides to go out with (4-2-3-1): Escandell – Foulquier, José Antonio Martínez, Vallejo, Domingos Duarte – Azeez, Yangel Herrera – Antonio Puertas, Antoñín, Gil Dias – Soldado.
Good afternoon everybody! Welcome to yet another match on this 33rd day of the Santander League! We assist Mendizorroza to tell you everything that happens in this Alavés – Granada!
