- 40' A meaty challenge results in booking for Montoro on 40.
- 45' Luis Abram is ready to make an impact after coming on for German Sanchez at the 45 minute mark.
- 50' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Rochina suffering a number of foals already.

- 77' A moment of madness from German Sanchez on 77 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Granada CF will be frustrated.
- 78' Alex Petxa gets the nod from Athletic Club. He replaces Balenziaga and will look to change the dynamic.
- 83' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
