Oscar Naasei Oppong Shines as Granada Edge Cultural Leonesa in Promotion Push
Ghanaian defender Oscar Naasei Oppong delivered an impressive performance as Granada CF secured a narrow 1-0 away win against Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa on Sunday.
Starting at right-back, the 21-year-old showcased his versatility by shifting into central defence after the break. His calmness on the ball and strong positional sense played a key role in helping Granada maintain their slim lead until the final whistle.
Naasei Oppong completed the full match and was among the standout performers, earning a solid 6.9 rating—one of the better scores in the team.
The young defender has become a reliable figure for Granada this season, making 33 appearances in the Segunda División. Since joining the club in 2023, he has steadily grown in confidence and continues to gain the trust of the coaching staff.
With this victory, Granada remain firmly in contention for promotion to La Liga.
Naasei Oppong’s consistent rise has not gone unnoticed, and he is increasingly seen as a promising option for the Ghana national football team in the near future.
