The front Abdón Prats halted Almería's great streak, who had ten games without losing and six consecutive victories, and with his goal (0-1) from Chilean in the extension of the match, gave Mallorca the three points, who maintains the leadership in LaLiga SmartBank with spectacular numbers as a visitor, with five wins, three draws and no losses.
Almería and Mallorca played a very balanced game from the beginning, with hardly any occasions, with the local owners of the possession, but without the necessary verticality to overcome a very well planted Majorcan group.
The game had a Mallorca with a lot of rhythm and high pressure that made it difficult for an Almeria to get out of the ball that lost 'control' of the game, even with the ball in his possession. The chances did not appear no matter how much the Almeria team tried with actions at the first touch.
The lack of speed rojiblanca was a consequence of the football of the Luis García Plaza's team, who did not leave spaces, who had more rhythm than those of the Portuguese José Gomes and the same respect for the rival.
Alternate game in the center of the field and without danger in the areas, due to the imposition of the defenses on the attacks and, therefore, absence of chances, except for a set piece with a shot that went to the goal of Joao Carvalho, In the 40th minute, Manolo Reina had to clear.
The start of the second half was the same, but the two technicians moved the bench. Mallorca cleaned themselves of cards and put Sevilla, who in 69 tried his luck with a set piece.
In Almería, to be more vertical, Corpas entered, first, Akieme, Morlanes and Samú Costa and this caused triple action, in 70, with the ball hitting the post, rejection topped by Sadiq and cleared and corner after Lazo's shot.
Neither of them stopped looking for the goal, but fIt was Mallorca who got it.
Lake Junior and Abdon, who were associated already in the extension time, closed the game with a goal from the Chilean Majorcan striker that gave him victory.
