Granada reached a new historic milestone by defeating Swedish Malmoe 1-3 and qualifying for the Europa League group stage in their first continental appearance.

The rojiblancos' first two dangerous approaches came in two corner kicks and were signed by defenders, with a long shot from Víctor Díaz and a header from Germán Sánchez.

Granada pressed more and more with the passing of the minutes and after half an hour it was 0-1 in a great play on the right of Antonio Puertas finished off in the small area with a goal by
