Match overview

Granada started the brighter of the two sides, pressing high and forcing Logroño into hurried passes from the back. Their early intensity paid off when a turnover in midfield opened space for a low finish into the corner. Logroño responded well, using width and set-piece pressure to create an equaliser before half-time.

The second half opened up considerably. Granada restored their lead with a crisp move through the middle, only for Logroño to respond again from a well-worked attacking sequence.

Key moments

• 18’ – Granada take the lead: A midfield turnover allowed Granada to attack quickly, and a composed finish beat the Logroño goalkeeper.
• 33’ – Logroño equalise: The hosts worked the ball wide before a cross into the box was converted to make it 1-1.
• 56’ – Granada retake the lead: A sharp passing combination opened the Logroño defence, and the away side finished from inside the area.
• 75’ – Logroño level again: Pressure from a corner led to a scrambled equaliser and renewed hope for the home crowd.
• 87’ – Granada win it: A fast counter-attack caught Logroño pushed forward, and the visitors sealed the 3-2 victory.

Tactical story

Granada’s high press was a central feature of the match. They targeted Logroño’s first pass out of defence and often won the ball in areas where they could attack immediately. Their midfield also controlled the second balls, which helped them sustain pressure and keep the hosts from settling into a rhythm.

Logroño’s best moments came through wide play and set pieces. Their full-backs pushed forward to create overloads, and the home side looked dangerous whenever they could deliver early crosses into the box. However, committing numbers forward left them exposed to Granada’s counter-attacks, and that proved decisive in the final minutes.

Standout performers

Granada’s central midfielder was instrumental in linking defence and attack, repeatedly breaking lines with forward passes. Their forward also produced a strong performance, holding up play and stretching the Logroño back line. For the hosts, the left-sided attacker was a constant outlet, while the captain drove the team forward during both comeback spells.

What the result means

The away win gives Granada CF Women momentum and strengthens their position in the Liga F standings. For Logroño United Women, the performance showed attacking promise but also highlighted the need for greater defensive compactness in transition. Both sides will now turn their attention to the next round of fixtures, with Granada looking to build on a valuable road result and Logroño seeking to convert spirited displays into points.
