Duarte puts Granada in the fight for Europe and excessively punishes Real

Granada is fully involved in the fight for Europe after winning at the Reale Arena in a crazy game in front of a Real society that everything is still crooked and that opportunities are still escaping to sentence their European classification. The game seemed sentenced to rest with the 0-2 of Antonio Puertas and Roberto Soldado, but Real Sociedad reacted in the second half with goals from Merino and Oyarzabal to tie the game. However, a goal by Domingo Duarte with two minutes to go to jump the bench through the air and give Granada a victory that allows him to continue dreaming of a season history, to the point that he has already broken his record for points in his history in First. La Real is very emotionally touched because their effort deserved more awardBut she has serious physical problems in her squad and that, although she continues to depend on herself, is an important handicap for the last week of competition with three very demanding matches.

The game started with a script that was known since before the referee whistled the start. He Pomegranate, with his defense of five, he didn't want to let a Real whose initial idea was not to speculate because of the need to win that he had, that Europe was at stake. The Real was prowling more the goal of Rui Silva, but without harming him, and the Granada team did not hesitate to run against him with their daggers up, Antonio Puertas and Carlos Fernández, because his high blood pressure was slowly starting to make the team very uncomfortable Imanol Sheriff. In one of those fast transitions, right at the moment of the sanitary applause, Domingos Duarte put a cross from the left and Puertas topped his head unappealable. Great goal to put the Pomegranate. Again without the rival needing to almost tickle him, Real was down on the scoreboard.

The goal hurt a Real who turned all black. He Pomegranate He smelled the blood and tried to advance his lines, but without losing his defensive order, which prevented the Txuri-Urdin from generating football with comfort and that caused him nerves and doubts. In the midst of trying to get up off the mat, came a controversial move with which the Granada team extended their advantage. A ball into space for Soldier Llorente tried to clear it, came to the striker franjirrojo being behind the realistic defense. Soldierof course did not fail, being in position in anti-regulatory theory. The referee and the VAR considered the goal valid when they understood that in the Llorente's attempt to clear the ball a new play was taking place. It seemed the lace for the realistic team, because the 0-2 came just before the break.

But the Real was aliveOr at least he wanted to be. Barrenetxea was going to be in charge of proving it. The youth squad sent two balls to the post and gave an exhibition of dribbles, feints and centers. A show that deserved better luck to show off his spectacular performance even more. As soon as the second part began, Merino hunted a rebound in a corner and reduced differences. A new game began, with a Royal launched to the attack on an open grave and a Granada that renounced his to defend with succulent loot he had in hand. The realistic team began to accumulate arrivals from all sides, although the clearest to tie came in the boots of Willian José, who incomprehensibly sent too close a hand to hand with Rui Silva.

Then the Royal start pulling on a breed that may well have come out earlier. Imanol He was forced to put two kids from the branch because of the muscle problems and fatigue of their players. And with Djouahra and Roberto López the realists demonstrated the pride that exists in Zubieta. While Barrenetxea followed suit, Djouahra appeared from the right to make a wonderful personal move and put a pass of death to Mikel Oyarzabal, who shot Rui Silva's goal to tie the game. With that 2-2 it seemed that the final folder was given to a crazy game, but the Real wanted more and did not give up the comeback. Even if Granada had not said its last word, and when least expected, his ambitious character appeared and, above all, Domingos Duarte, to round off his performance with the visitor's winning goal with an unappealable header. Too much punishment for a Real that he did much more to finish defeated, but that he has a serious problem in his defensive balance, because If Granada scores three goals at Reale Arena, it will have done a lot also good to get three points that put him squarely in the fight for Europe.

Diego Martínez: “They tie us and when their mood was most critical … We won”

The coach of Pomegranate Diego Martínez said he was “proud” of the work of his players and, above all, of the way in which they achieved the victory against a Real society that he raised a 0-2 and that he had everything to take the victory.

Sheriff: “Giving away what we are giving away is impossible to compete in First Division”

The coach of Real Sociedad, Imanol Alguacil, regretted after the game a defeat against Granada that he described as “cruel”, although he recalled that due to the game exhibited his team “is alive” to face the last three games with the aim of qualifying for Europe. “We are still very much alive and on Monday we have to prove it again. I am proud of everything my players have done because at halftime we went 0-2, we did things well and also others badly,” said Alguacil.

He had no qualms admitting that defensive errors are penalizing his team a lot because, according to the coach from Gipuzkoa, “You can't make us less of a rival, you can't shoot less on goal than you shoot at us, but it's that terrible“He does not want to excuse himself neither in the injuries nor in the youth of his staff, although he did warn that”giving away what we are giving away is impossible to compete in the First Division“
