Last-Gasp Sola Winner Stuns Zaragoza as Granada Snatch Vital Away Victory

Granada CF left it late but secured a dramatic 1–0 victory over Real Zaragoza on Friday night, with substitute Alex Sola delivering the decisive blow deep into stoppage time on matchday 38 of the Segunda División.

The game at La Romareda was tight and hard-fought, with both sides struggling to find a breakthrough for most of the 90 minutes. Refereeing decisions and physical duels shaped the contest, as a flurry of yellow cards underlined the intensity between two teams battling for crucial late-season points.

Granada collected bookings for Trigueros (16′), Pacheta (45′), Loic Williams (45′), Rubén Alcaraz (57′), Álvaro Lemos (62′) and finally Sola himself in the 90th minute. Real Zaragoza saw Lucas Martínez (32′), Yussif (59′) and Pablo Insúa (85′) enter the referee’s book as tempers periodically flared.

The turning point arrived in added time. In the 90+8th minute, Granada’s late substitute Alex Sola met a move engineered by Pablo Sáenz and finished to make it 1–0, breaking Zaragoza’s resistance at the death. The goal, officially recorded at 90+8, was Sola’s standout contribution after coming on in the 77th minute for José Arnáiz.

There was further late drama as Granada’s Jorge Pascual was sent off in the 90th minute, leaving the visitors to close out the game with ten men. However, Real Zaragoza could not capitalise in the remaining moments.

Both coaches turned heavily to their benches: Granada introduced Izan González, Pau Casadesús, Sola and Sergio Ruiz, while Zaragoza brought on Mawuli Mensah, Marcos Cuenca, Raúl Guti and Hugo Pinilla in search of more attacking impetus.

Detailed statistics such as possession, shots and lineups were not available in the official data feed, but the late winner ensures Granada return home with three valuable points, while Real Zaragoza are left to reflect on a cruel finish to a cagey encounter.
