Adalberto Penaranda double seals late Granada win

Penaranda double seals late Granada win

Granada have beaten Levante 2-1 away from home thanks to a double from Venezuelan forward Adalberto Penaranda.

Isaac Success had a free header inside the box but his effort was straight at Levante goalkeeper Ruben.

Levante then came close through Victor Camarasa, who picked up a headed pass from Deyverson but the 21-year-old midfielder could only hit his strike straight at the goalkeeper.

In the second half, Granada went ahead through 18-year-old striker Penaranda, who latched on to a Ruben Rochina pass to score his first goal in La Liga.

Levante equalised 15 minutes later as Simao Mate connected with a Verza free kick to head home from close range to level the scores.

However, Penaranda grabbed his second in the final few minutes, hitting a long-range effort that was just out of reach of Ruben.

The result moves Granada out of the relegation zone in La Liga, while Levante remain in 19th place.
