1:2: Prestigious triumph for Almeria | UD Almeria

Almeria had a prestigious victory in Elche because they beat all of Elche brilliantly in a setting like Martinez Valero with 20,000 fans in the stands and again scored two away goals to turn the tide of the match. It started with Elche’s first goal in the 4th minute. Lopi then drew the game and Luis Suarez was sentenced.

The day before, Rubi had said that the match between Elche and Almeria could be a great game because neither team speculated and that was the case for the first forty-five minutes, although errors at the back of the team should also be added. . Almeria, who motivated the 1-0 score as soon as it started, so things became very difficult… although the Rojiblancos are already “experts” in coming back. The production was attractive; Fernando returned to the gate; Baba returned to the center of the field with Lopi; Pabillus restored the right side; Also up front were starters with great mobility in their position, while on the left were Bruno Langa in defense and Sentelles in attack. This was news from the previous league match in Huesca.

A good argument that fell apart in the 4th minute when Salinas hit the post low, which Fernando failed to catch. Goals were key soon after, in the 7th and 14th, with both saves preventing the score from being 2–0. Almeria were uncomfortable and looked downtrodden, but in the 36th minute everything changed. Baba stole the ball in the center of the field, passed it to Lopi, who entered the penalty area and scored from a cross. The Indalicos, possessing attacking potential, were able to go into the break with an advantage. Leo Baptistao hit the crossbar in the 38th minute, and in the 40th minute Luis Suarez beat the local goalkeeper after Tschumi’s assist and was on the verge of scoring without a corner. It was a first half with alternatives, football and chances, lots of chances for both sides.

At the beginning of the second period, Ruby brought Niko Melamed into battle to replace Sentelles, who had a yellow card. More wood for the red-white attack, with undoubted potential. And that was evident four minutes after the restart with a brilliant display that ended with Bruno Langa hitting the post. And also in the 53rd minute because Luis Suarez, taking advantage of the opponent’s indecisiveness, took the ball, collided with the goalkeeper and beat him. It was 1-2. Almeria were sober, kept the Elche people at bay and played well in attack; taking your time and acting cautiously in some cases and not trying to surprise with speed in others. The party had control

So much so that in the 60th minute Leo Baptistao could have made the score 1:3, but his shot, following a superb pass from Marc Pubill, sent the ball over the goal. It’s a shame, because the confrontation could have been returned to the right direction. In any case, Almeria managed to withstand the result, and although they eventually suffered from local attacks, three points were achieved… and what three points!
