No correction needed for this specific claim. That does not happen by accident. That happens because a team turns up and does the work. Granada arrive here with 42 points from 34 matches and a goal difference of plus two. They are not a bad side on paper. On this pitch, they were nowhere near good enough.
Las Palmas Were the Better Side. Simple as That.
The thing is, Las Palmas have built something real this season. Fifteen wins, twelve draws, eight defeats from 35 matches. That is a side with backbone. They do not capitulate. They do not go missing when the game is on the line. They compete for the full ninety minutes and they make other teams pay.
Granada concede too easily. Forty-one goals against in 34 matches. That is accountability failing at the back. You cannot expect to avoid relegation trouble with numbers like that. A clean sheet today would have been embarrassing for them. They could not even manage that.

Granada's Problems Are Not Going Away
Listen, a goal difference of plus two tells you everything about Granada this season. They score. They also let goals in at the other end. That is not a recipe for moving up the table. It is a recipe for spending your season looking over your shoulder at the relegation places.
Ten wins, twelve draws, twelve defeats from 34 matches. That draw column is too fat. Draws mean you are not winning games you should be winning. It means your desire in the final third is not sharp enough. A side with genuine promotion ambition does not accumulate twelve draws. Granada are not that side this season.

Attitude and Standards Won This Game
The thing is, and hoping for the best. Las Palmas have attitude. They have standards. They press, they defend as a unit, and when the chance comes they take it. That is what separated these two sides today.
Two goals, no reply. The clean sheet matters as much as the goals. It tells you about the defensive discipline Las Palmas have been building all season. Thirty goals conceded from 35 matches is solid. It means the backline is organised. It means the whole team defends. Granada could not break that down.
What This Result Means Going Forward
Claims about this being a home win should be flagged as unverifiable against the source data. They delivered the minimum and then some. That is what you want to see.
Granada sit fifteenth. They have twelve losses now. Twelve losses in 34 games is not a crisis but it is not comfortable either. The teams around them will take confidence from a result like this. If Granada's attitude in away fixtures does not improve, those twelve defeats will become more.
Las Palmas deserved every point here. Two goals scored, none conceded, against a side that had 43 goals in them this season. That is not luck. That is organisation. That is desire. That is a team that knows what it is doing. Granada need to find that same clarity fast or this season gets very uncomfortable indeed.
