Granada, Elche maintain promotion hopes
(

Granada and Elche will have it all to play for in their Segunda Division play-off final second leg on Saturday after a 0-0 draw in the first leg on Wednesday.

Hosts Granada were handed a golden chance to break the deadlock in the last minute when they were awarded a penalty. However, midfielder Abel was denied not once, but twice by visiting goalkeeper Jaime after the referee ordered the kick be retaken.

Elche finished fourth in the Spanish second tier, one place and one point better off than Granada.

The pair will do battle in the second leg this weekend to join Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis in wining promotion to the Primera Division.
