The game between Sabadell and Almería would be perfect to teach a layman what football is, since the vast majority of the actions that take place during several meetings took place. Goals, penalties scored, missed penalties, Chilean, disallowed goals, expulsions, cards … A hilarious game for the spectator, with alternatives on the scoreboard and the game, which anyone could win.
Sabadell came out with the usual plan, that was no surprise, but it only turned out profitable in the first minutes. He monopolized the ball and the attack, always taking advantage of the depth of Víctor García on the right wing, but without generating excessive danger. Quite the opposite of Almería, which the first one they had was already very dangerous. A play that in fact ended in a goal, annulled for offside, in a run by Ramazani behind the centrals. A prelude to what happened on the next move: another A good unchecking behind the Almería striker left him alone against the debutant Fuoli. In this case, Jaime committed a penalty and Aketxe was in charge of marking it.
Sabadell took a few minutes to activate, but then it did take a step forward. He stepped on the Almería area, was able to advance possession and different actions near the goal began to take place. First they claimed a penalty for hands inside the area and then they annulled a Chilean goal to Édgar. Both actions, very fair, increased the tension of the Sabadell footballers but also the feeling, in Almería, that the tie was closer than 0-2.
The harlequin goal, then, was a matter of time if logic ever governed football and, unfortunately for Almería, that time was yesterday. ORA measured cross by Ozkoidi helped Stoichkov head the ball into the net for the equalizer and his third goal in three games. But the luck of the Sabadell did not end there: Peybernes was yellow for protesting Stoichkov's goal and a few minutes later he was late to a dispute with Edgar. Two cards and the street. Everything before the break.
Sabadell had to take the initiative, a role that he did not refuse, because if it was already his initial plan with numerical superiority, the situation was ideal. In the first long possession, in fact, Undabarrena found Édgar, but Fernando avoided the Catalan's goal.
Almería's offensive arguments, Ramazani's unchecking and Aketxe's shots, continued to be a threat despite playing with ten, a situation that Almería knew how to resolve relatively well, with more or less long possessions that allowed them a respite between attacks. harlequin.
And Fernando also appeared to maintain the tie, stopping Stoichkov a penalty after some hands from Balliu and restoring lost spirits to your team. Even Lazo, with a good ball inside the area, had a chance to score 1-2.
The changes alleviated the numerical inferiority and Almería maintained options to win the game until the final minute. He insisted as did Sabadell, but it was the visitors who took the award. Ramazani, in the last play of the match, gave victory to his team thanks to a pass from Sadiq, also key in the good final minutes of Almería.
