Video summary of Alavés vs. Granada from La Liga EA Sports 2023-2024: goals, highlights and key moments
86th minute: Uzuni fires in a spectacular finish from a penalty to seal a 3-1 lead for Deportivo Alavés over Granada, placing pressure on the visitors as the clock ticks down. The Albanian strikes cleanly from the spot to beat the goalkeeper.
55th minute: Omorodion doubles the advantage. After a sweeping move from the right by Luis Rioja, the Melilla striker meets a precise cross and directs the ball beyond the keeper at the near post, making it 3-0 for Alavés.
The first-half display saw Alavés’ attacking game built around the involvement of Luis Rioja and Abde Rebbach. The winger repeatedly threatened Granada from the left, delivering five crosses into dangerous zones. Rebbach, celebrating his first league goal in what marked his second start of the season, added a breakthrough moment for the home side. Granada’s defense found the flurry difficult to handle, and the Algerian forward’s finish in the early stages signaled a strong performance from Alavés in Mendizorroza.
Half-time in Vitoria saw Deportivo Alavés ahead thanks to an own goal from Raúl Torrente and another by Abde Rebbach. Luis García Plaza’s squad capitalized on the visitors’ defensive lapses to mount swift attacks, taking a 2-0 advantage through quick transitions. Although Paco López’s team controlled possession—holding around 56% and completing a substantial number of passes—they were unable to convert those opportunities into meaningful chances after the break.
38th minute: Abde Rebbach scores a brilliant goal for Alavés. In a well-worked foray down the left, the Algerian wideman collects the ball, times his run, and places a precise finish past the keeper, signaling a growing lead for the home side.
Eleven minutes into the match: Torrente’s misfortune at his own goal line gives Alavés a 1-0 advantage. A fast, coordinated sequence starting from deep positions culminates with Torrente inadvertently turning the ball into his own net under pressure from Omorodion.
