Barcelona 1-0 Granada Match Highlight (Barca edge past Granada to move second)

Barcelona are the defending La Liga champions, while bottom-dwelling Granada are winless this year and have just three points on the season. To spell it out, Barcelona shouldn't have had trouble knocking off their counterpart in Saturday's late La Liga contest.

Nevertheless, Barcelona were made to work for their victory against Granada. Both sides were goalless at halftime, a surprise in and of itself, as Barcelona had their patented dominance of possession but bupkis to show for it. Tension at the Camp Nou was growing, but Rafinha caught magic in a bottle early in the second half.

MATCH HIGHLIGHT

Somehow, Neymar conspired to hit the post after a beautiful team move. However, a lurking Rafinha was in position to capitalize on the ricochet and hopped on his bike to do so, blasting a powerful overhead kick past Memo Ochoa. Rafinha has found himself with more playing time as Andres Iniesta recovers from an injured knee ligament. The 23-year-old has capitalized on the additional work, scoring in every game that he's started this season.

Rafinha has scored five league goals from six shots on target this season

With Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar all misfiring on the day, saving Barcelona's blushes against Granada might be Rafinha's most important goal of the season.
