ANDORRA | LIZOAINGRANADA | UZUNI Shots on goal: 2 – 3 Corners: 2 – 3 Fouls: 13 – 13 Yellow cards: 1 – 2 Red cards: 0 – 0 Total passes: 524 – 347 Passes completed: 420 – 252 Attacks: 100 – 99 Dangerous attacks: 42 – 49 Rubio does not connect a center with Ricard. It seems that the rojiblancos try it desperately. FERREIRA’S PARADÓN! End of heart attack in the Andorran National, Ferreira’s brutal save to Iván Gil who penetrated practically alone inside the area, although so forced by the defense that the balance did not accompany him in the action. Even so, the shot that Ferreira stopped in a scare for Andorra was brutal. WE HAVE 6 ADDED! WE WILL LEAVE UNTIL MINUTE 96 OF MEETING! Andorra combines and triangulates the ball in order to withstand the Nasrid team’s offensive, Hevel and Iván Gil seek to break free, good possession by Sarabia’s men.
Exit: Mika Marble
Enter: Alex Pastor
FERREIRA STOPPING! LITTLE PANTHER! Marc Agüado combined with Iván Gil who put a precise cross at the head of Marc Fernández and who ended up saving Ferreira from the bottom of the near post. THE DOOR TEST! The Granada player shoots from the right flank, who begins to lock up Andorra. Granada is looking for a scoring opportunity, a great move by the Nasrid team that Uzuni failed to hit. Andorra remains faithful to Sarabia’s philosophy, it looks comfortable with the ball although Aitor Karanka’s team is now much more closed in defense looking for an opportunity to win the rival’s back.

Andorra controls possession, the rojiblanco team does not seem to want to get complicated, it seems that little meat is left on the grill. CHANGE IN THE RANKS OF ANDORRA! Exit: SERGIO MOLINAEnter: JANDRO He leaves by his own foot, but it seems that Sergio Molina is not going to return to the match. Jandro prepares to complete the 11 of the Andorran team. WHAT A HIT! Ball to the face of Sergio Molina, Andorra’s number 14 hurts on the ground and the medical services assist him on the field of play. The game is stopped for now. LIZOAIN AGAIN! Incredible departure from the Andorra goalkeeper. The tricolor team begins to suffer in defense with the actions commanded by Ricard, Uzuni and Callejón. Great run down the right wing by Valera who clashed with Ignasi Miquel, the Andorra winger fell after struggling inside the area. González Francés did not see anything FOLLOW! VERY UP THE ALLEY SHOT! Great control of the winger from Granada who turned around his pair very well. Still he couldn’t get a door. José Callejón is hurt by a tremendous blow, the veteran lies on the ground after an action that González Francés interpreted with the law of advantage. He launched the uncheck Uzuni that did not finish connecting with Callejón. Lizoain catches the ball, who is very confident under the sticks. YELLOW CARD FOR JOSÉ CALLEJÓN! The Granada striker made an effort to put pressure on but he arrived too late and finished off Sergio Molina with a stomp. The decision is clear. Ricard and Puertas do not understand each other. Ball that ends up in the bottom line and it will be Lizoain who puts the ball into play again. Great arrival of Granada on the right side that was becoming more intense, a good move that did not end in anything. He hits him with his right hand crossed and the shot goes wide. Andorra tries to give the game a sleeping pill, seeking to control the game with a great touch combination. Granada is not comfortable defending in its area. The Andorran team likes Iván Gil’s wing, a good long pass from Lizoain who is looking for the scorer of the match. Great filtered pass for Iván Gil who was left alone in front of Lizoaín and defined a beautiful Vaseline. Andorra is strong in this first phase of the match.
