The Alavés got mad after the goal of Carlos Fernández and the Andalusians return to the path of triumph after five days

[Dark]

Granada lived moments of uncertainty. Five days ago he became a leader. Since then, he accumulated four losses and one draw. Diego Martinez's calendar was steep, but they did not essentially change his style and passion for the game. The match against Alavés was considered key by the coach and his players. The team responded and achieved a convincing triumph, seated in a magnificent start in the second half, when in five minutes it inclined in its favor a clash that was played very roughly before. With the score in favor, Granada is untouchable. There is no one who coughs or traces him with Martinez on his bench. Everything changed after a good collective action, full of precision and talent. A change of Herrera's game, a split and a tense center of Víctor Díaz to which Carlos Fernández put the icing with a brave shot. The touch of the side reminded that of the best Míchel in Madrid in the late eighties. Carlos Fernández broke into the small area to finish off head flawlessly.

The goal unbalanced the mood of an Alavés who had enjoyed options in the first half. Manu García committed an unnecessary penalty only three minutes after the first Andalusian goal. Soldier made the second goal, also the second of his individual account after his arrival in Granada. He did not score from the first day, before Villarreal, but is indispensable for his charisma and his work in the field. For example, when the edge of the break saved a ball in the small area after a mistake by goal Rui Silva at the exit of a corner kick. For those details, Soldier is indispensable. After the penalty of the striker, the Alavés was cleared from the field. He had already been touched in the first half by Pina's injury. Wakaso entered, who in his first action saw the yellow card. The end of the story was more than predictable. Wakaso received the second and was just expelled after a reckless entrance to Neva. Half an hour to the end, the crash had been sentenced. Deleted from the face of the field, the Alavés was a toy in the hands of Granada. The Andalusians, with field ahead, released nerves, were unstoppable. Herrera made the third after a magnificent play inside the area. The Basques had waved the white flag, totally disconnected with a player less and the game more than lost.

The result is that Granada was reunited with the victory to reach 24 points. Some figures that are very close to their goal of permanence. The Andalusians found a prize for their poise, because they did not hesitate despite the five days they have been without losing. The fans enjoyed a win against a direct rival, with moments in the second half of very good football, where players like Carlos Fernández and Herrera shone at a high level. Matches such as Alavés contribute to establish the great communion between the team and the stands. The Alavés must reflect on their poor performance in the second half. He came to the crash at a good time despite his defeat against Madrid. His first half was acceptable, with two clear chances generated by his two good strikers. It proved insufficient.

Diego Martínez changed the face of his team playing with two strikers, also risking with Puertas and Vadillo for the bands and acting with two strikers, Carlos Fernández and Soldier. The first half had nothing to do with the second. It was a hard shock, of many interruptions and where the Alavés enjoyed the best chances thanks to the direct game in search of Joselu and Lucas Pérez. They were twice the Galician attacker, who had scored in eight of the last nine games. Lucas was not right and Carlos Fernández did just start the second part. After so little football in the first act, including two injured, Quini and Pina, everything was resolved in the brilliant combination between Herrera, Puertas, Víctor Díaz and the auction of Carlos. The best of the crash. The worst, the entry of Laguardia to Carlos Fernández himself, which meant his expulsion at the last minute of the game. A hard and unnecessary action.
