Colombian James Rodríguez scores in Real Madrid's victory over Granada

Colombian James Rodríguez was responsible for sealing the victory with the fourth goal in added time with a shot inside the box, marking his first goal after returning to wear the Real Madrid shirt following two seasons on loan at Bayern Munich.

Both teams were fighting for the top spot in the eighth round of LaLigaSantander with only one point advantage for the Madrid team, which extended it to four points over Granada after the victory achieved on Saturday.

Three points that seemed to be in the bag with goals from Benzema (min.2), Hazard (min.45+1) and Modric (min.61), but Granada fought until the end to achieve it thanks to a brace from Carlos Fernández (min.67 and min.77).

Montoro had to leave the field due to a muscular problem, as reported by Granada on their Twitter account, and was replaced by Frenchman Maxime Gonalons. In the 33rd minute, Kroos went to the locker room due to discomfort in the abductor of his left leg and gave his place to the Croatian Luka Modric.
