He Sporting de Gijón this Sunday reaffirmed its leadership in LaLiga SmartBank after adding a new victory (0-1), a full of four at the start of the competition, in this case in the Almería field, a rival who also aspires to be promoted this season.
The only clear danger action available to Sporting served to win the fourth consecutive victory, keeping a clean sheet and maintaining the lead.
He may not have merits to achieve victory, but he did show great strength in defense so as not to suffer and effectiveness in attack to add victory.
The Andalusians, without a goal, ruined a constant dominance of the ball that did not help them to add.
The first part was controlled by UD Almeria, who had the ball, but not the necessary success to, in the final meters, find a way to hurt a Sporting well planted on its plot, with two lines of four very close together, but with very little appearance in attack.
Timidly he approached the area defended by the UD Almeria, who in attack sought how to swing the ball so that the Sporting leave holes that did not leave. Even so, in the 27th, a good action between Aketxe, Villalba and Balliu ended with a shot from the first one who narrowly missed.
The Almeria team moved the ball comfortably against a Sporting With no options, what came the most in the first half was to force, in minute 41, a corner kick taken without consequences.
In the second half there were no changes, only players. Almería was well managed, while Sporting he went about his business. There were local arrivals and shots from Fran Villalba and Lazo, but without finding a goal.
In '73, a great action from Saul Garcia on the left he finished with a center of this and an accurate shot from Djuka who overtook the Astures and gave them victory, because he knew how to keep the income until the end.
