In the 7th minute, Garvey sent a precise cross on the left side, Luc De Jong grabbed the nodding ball and scored, but unfortunately Garvey was offside before, and the goal was invalid. Seven minutes later, the Granada flank advanced a quick attack and Alves released the shovel in time to break the siege. Barca then got a great chance, Hutegra sent a cross from the left and Luc De Jong opted for an unusual heel shot that resulted in a high kick.
In the 20th minute, Dembele sent a direct ball on the right side of the midfield, Luc De Jong stepped forward and burst into the box to get a one-handed opportunity, but he did not shoot at the first time, was chased by the opponent and fell to the ground, the referee did not think it was a foul.
