Luuk de Jong and Antonino Puertas scored the goals.
WAS prevented dream start
Barcelona seemed to get a dream start to the match. Luuk de Jong scored 1-0 after only eight minutes, but unfortunately for the Catalans, the goal was canceled for an offside VAR picked up in the build-up.
Eventually, Granada began to play their part in the match. Marc-André Ter Stegen had to manage with a reduced squad after 26 minutes, as Darwin Machís got sent off for a needless foul away from the game’s action.
In a first half that dabbled a lot back and forth, neither the home team nor the away team managed to use their chances.
There was thus a draw before the change of sides.
Alves assist and red card
Six minutes into the second half, Barcelona midfielder Eric García lay down on the pitch, apparently with a hamstring injury. Hopefully for Barcelona, his name does not get on their ever-growing absence list.
In the 57th minute, the goal was set for Barcelona. In his second league debut for the Catalans, Dani Alves hit a brilliant post against Luuk de Jong. The Dutch power forward headed in cash 1-0.
79 minutes in, Gavi received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The youngster stepped in with a poorly timed slip tackle, and referee Pablo Gonzalez had no choice but to reduce the away team to ten men.
– It’s youthful over-ignition. After the first yellow card, we probably waited the whole match for him to get his second, commented Christina Paulos Syversen in TV2’s studio.
Granada pressed with one more man, and late in the match it was 1-1 after a corner scoring by Antonio Puertas.
The match thus ended 1-1, depriving Barcelona of a potential third place in the LaLiga. The Catalans remain in sixth place in the table.
