Edna Imade Inspires Granada to Stunning Comeback Win Over Valencia in Liga F Thriller

 

Super Falcons prospect Edna Imade delivered a dazzling performance to lead Granada to a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Valencia in a pulsating Liga F Round 26 clash on Saturday afternoon.

 

Despite having the fewest touches (29) of any outfield player who completed the full 90 minutes, Imade’s influence on the game was undeniable. She walked away with the Player of the Match award, earning a stellar 8.3 rating, as reported by Footballrover.

 

Valencia took the early advantage through Ana Marcos, who found the net in the 24th minute, giving the visitors a 1-0 lead that lasted through halftime.

 

But Imade changed the script shortly after the restart. In the 48th minute, the Nigerian forward surged into the box and was brought down, earning a crucial penalty. Teammate Laura Requena calmly converted to bring Granada level.

 

As the game neared its conclusion, Imade once again stepped up, delivering a moment of brilliance in the 89th minute. Her incisive pass found Alexia Fernandez, who finished clinically to complete Granada’s comeback and seal the three points in front of an ecstatic home crowd.

 

Statistically, Imade’s performance was as impactful as it was efficient. She registered seven shots, created two goal-scoring chances, and made ten touches inside the opposition box—highlighting her decisive presence in the final third.

 

Saturday’s performance takes her season tally to 15 goal contributions—13 Liga F goals, one assist, and a goal in the Copa de la Reina. The win also marks Granada’s third straight victory, keeping them firmly in fifth place with 42 points, just six behind the top three.

 

Imade’s standout season continues to bolster her case for a call-up to the Super Falcons, as she cements her reputation as one of the most efficient and exciting forwards in Spanish women’s football.
