- 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 21' The deadlock is broken! Soldado gets on the scoresheet on 21 minutes.
- 26' It’s high time Unai Emery made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 29' What a moment for Ruben Pena! That strike on 29 puts his side firmly in control.
- 34' Alfonso Pedraza has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 35' Controversy at the stadium! Yangel Herrera argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 40' Granada CF seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 45' A quiet spell here at Estadio de la Ceramica. Granada CF seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 50' Fernando Nino has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 5 cards already picked up this season.
- 55' Granada CF ring the changes. Luis Suarez has done his job and it is now time for Kenedy to step up.

- 64' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

- 70' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yan Eteki made 251 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 75' Against the run of play, Kenedy has scored! This game has turned on its head.

- 85' 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 Trigueros suffering a number of foals already.
- 88' Another substitution for Villarreal CF to replace Etienne Capoue by Francis Coquelin on 88 minute.
- 90' Controversy at the stadium! Darwin Machis argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
