Real Madrid defeated Granada 2-0 in a match in the Spanish La Liga on Saturday, a match that is unlikely to linger long in the memories of the fans who flocked to the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Ibrahim Díaz opened the scoring with a brilliant touch in the 26th minute, before Rodrygo doubled the team's lead from close range in the 57th minute in a match dominated by Real against an opponent that had no attempts on goal throughout the game.
Real returned to the top of the league with 38 points, equal with Girona, who rallied to a 2-1 victory over Valencia earlier today. Atlético Madrid and Barcelona follow in the standings, each with 31 points, ahead of their encounter on Sunday. This marks the fifth consecutive match in all competitions in which the Brazilian player has scored, raising his tally to seven goals and four assists during that period. Díaz told DAZN, "It was almost a perfect match. We dominated and the opponent created very few chances. If I remember correctly, they didn't shoot at goal."
