Granada women claimed a surprising 3-2 victory over Real Sociedad women in the Primera División Femenina regular season round two, played on 7 September 2026. The result defied expectations, particularly after Sociedad had controlled large portions of the match without securing a win. To be fair, the visitors arrived with momentum from their previous encounters, yet this fixture decided itself differently.
Leles gave Granada the lead with a penalty in the twentieth minute, a moment that set the tone for what followed. C. Chacon doubled the advantage shortly after in the twenty-second, and R. Gil extended it to 3-0 by the thirtieth. Real Sociedad responded through K. Cahynova in the forty-fifth minute plus one, before I. Santiago pulled one back in the forty-sixth, leaving the game finely balanced.
Substitutions began flowing from the fifty-eighth minute onward, with A. Aparicio, C. Chacon, W. Fon, E. Laborde, Camino, E. Guridi, I. Santiago, and P. Perea all entering the action. A. Martos received a yellow card in the ninth minute plus eight, the bookkeeping entry for a hard-fought contest. By then, the narrative had shifted from Sociedad's control to Granada's resilience.
The statistics tell a story of imbalance. Sociedad registered 127 attacks against Granada's 33, holding 68 per cent possession to their opponents' 32 per cent. Yet Granada's five shots on target proved more decisive than Sociedad's three, and both goalkeepers made only two saves each. And here's the thing — many shots with one goal means chances went begging, and that pattern held throughout.
Both sides sit on zero points after one match, fourteen and thirteen respectively in the table, though the early-season standings carry little weight at this stage. Granada's previous results included a 1-3 defeat to Madrid CFF and a 0-3 loss to Sociedad in May, while their visitors have similarly struggled, losing to Chelsea and EDF Logroño recently.
Our prediction favoured Sociedad at 49 per cent confidence, but the match refused to follow that script. The visitors' inability to convert dominance into goals ultimately broke the forecast, leaving Granada with a result that felt earned rather than fortunate.
