Villarreal took the three points from Los Cármenes to continue their climb and get fully into the fight for the Champions League before receiving Juventus in European competition. Danjuma, with a hat-trick, and Gil Manzano were the stars of the match. The referee decreed three penaltiestwo for the people from Castellón and one for the Nasrids in a game full of stoppages and protests. Granada is still in free fall, they still don’t know how to win in 2022 despite a good second half and relegation is getting closer every day…
Granada appeared in Los Cármenes with the need of those who see the descent close. Therefore, Robert Moreno pulled the old guard with Victor Diaz, Montoro and Molina. Face a Villarreal with part of unit B thinking that Juve visit Castellón in a few days. The Nasrids came out plugged in. A shot by Molina and an attempt from midfield by Montoro warned that Granada wanted to turn the tables. It was a mirage. Because Villarreal took control of the ball and the game. Parejo ruled in midfield, the wings rose dangerously and Granada allowed themselves to be dominated. There was no pressure, yes the lines together, trying to cover spaces. But even so, the chances began to fall. Two crosses from the wings were about to cost the Nasrids the first goal. That, to make matters worse, in the 12th minute they saw Gonalons get injured and Moreno opted to bring in a striker like Uzuni to put Suárez back in the lead and Montoro with Milla in midfield. It didn’t go well. The ball continued to have a single owner, the game as well. The people of Castellón roam the area and, in the 27th minute, a center from Estupiñán went to finish off Trigueros, who was caught by Uzuni. The Albanian came into contact with the midfielder slightly, but enough for Gil Manzano to order a penalty and a red card for the Nasrid. The VAR called him in the middle of a brawl. The game was stopped for seven minutes between one thing and another so that the referee finally took the red card from the Albanian and Danjuma headed to eleven meters. The Dutchman who deservedly put Emery’s men ahead did not fail. After the center kick, Puertas had a very clear shot on a loose ball in the area. Again, it was just a mirage. Pbecause shortly after it was Pau who missed the goal and, in minute 39, Danjuma did not waste a one-on-one after a long ball in which Neva and Quini collided and they left the striker alone in front of Maximiano’s goal. Milla and Suárez both enjoyed free kicks in the front with the same outcome, ball to the barrier and Maximiano appeared to avoid Lo Celso’s third and Danjuma did not hit the rebound. The first half closed with 72 percent possession for the people from Castellón and a Granada that did not react…
After the break, Moreno made a move. Torrente entered to put up a defense of three with Puertas and Neva as lanes, Uzuni looser and much more advanced pressure. Granada was wounded in its pride and it seemed like another team. One more march, intensity and another intention. They were two goals, but it was traceable. And the chances began to fall. Suárez scored, but Molina was offsideUzuni had another very clear one and Suárez ran into Asenjo in a one-on-one. Granada was still looking for the goal that would put him in the match. He pressed, went for the ball and attacked with everything against a Villarreal that looked like another. Only Danjuma, in a counterattack, was able to sign his hat-trick, but Maximiano avoided it. And, in the 60th minute, Torrente finished off a hanging ball and Aurier hit him on the head with his foot. The VAR called him and, after the review, he awarded a penalty. Mile cut distances and Los Cármenes pushed in search of the tie. Several corners, shots that went wide and wasted chances, Granada had their sights deflected as much as they tried, the ball did not enter. And, to finish off the job, in another counter Chikwueze shot and the ball hit Torrente in the hand. Another penalty that Gil Manzano decreed and Danjuma did not fail to put the third yellow and end the local momentum. It was a blow for the Nasrids who saw how the comeback became almost impossible. There were only ten minutes left and the Granadans, although they did not lower their arms, did the intensity. The game was almost impossible. And to put the finishing touch, Moi, in the discount, made the fourth just before the braid whistled the end. Granada continues to bleed to death and risks its life on the next day, Villarreal continues its European climb…
