Granada distanced themselves from the danger zone after beating Sporting Gijón 2-1 on Saturday evening. Martins gave the Andalusians the lead in only the second minute, catching Juan Pablo out with a wide free kick which went through a gap in the defensive wall. And midway through the second half Siqueira made it two after running on to a Dani Benítez through ball before steering a shot past the keeper. Sporting's only reply was a header wide by Barral, but early in the second half Benítez hit the bar, and Uche stuck a rebound in to the net after Juan Pablo saved from Mikel Rico only to be ruled out for offside. Trejo should have scored a few minutes later when he shot straight at Julio César with the goal at his mercy, and when Colunga did beat the keeper with an impressive lob it was too late to prevent a defeat which left Javier Clemente's side seven points adrift of their opponents in the rankings.
