Europa League | PSV 1-Granada 2: Historic comeback

This Granada is very serious. The Nasrids made their debut in the group stage of the Europa League, first of all a historical one like PSV and far from the refuge of Los Cármenes. But Diego Martínez's were the ones who seemed to have been playing continental competition all their lives. They did not pay for the hazing, on the contrary. They bounced back from Gotze's goal and came back to afflict the Dutch for their first defeat this season.

The initial arreón of the Granadans surprised the locals. Puertas failed to finish off the goal. PSV settled in the game and, little by little, they got more ball and reached Rui's dominions. The goalkeeper had to stop Malen's shot and a bad clearance from Neva. The Dutch only created danger when they connected with Götze.

The minutes passed without chances, two teams ordered and with clear ideas that they did not want to have mistakes. The bad news came within half an hour with Gonalons injury and in the final minutes the duel was animated. Mvogo avoided Montoro's goal and Yangel scored offside. And from the possible Nasrid goal to the Dutch blow. Dumfrie made a drop for Götze, who first beat Silva in the first-half drawdown.

PSV removed Götze from the field after the restart and was left without his greatest danger. Granada clung to its philosophy of eternal struggle. He came out to dominate and took the ball from the Dutch team. Milla led the orchestra from the midfield against a PSV who wanted to endure the result. Molina was able to kill in the small area, but the ball touched him on the knee. And, at 56 ', in a rehearsed play, Puertas put her at the far post and this time Molina did not miss. A tie that left the locals touched.

But Granada wanted more. He kept submitting to those of Schmidt, with the ball and arriving with danger. Ten minutes later, Machís went down the wing on a personal move and scored a goal from outside the area that sank the Dutch. Because they did not get, not even being below, overcome a Granada that knew how to defend itself in the final area. A historic comeback.
