Almeria 2 – Celtic 3

Almeria embraced the Galician area at the start of the game with two strikes from Luis Suarez and Adrian Embalba, but without much danger.

The locals’ first chance came in the seventh minute when Sergio Akieme’s individual effort was blocked by Ivan Villar in a one-on-one. Starting with a panic, Celta tried to carry the weight of the game with long possessions, but it paid off on both occasions, but it didn’t end there, as Rafa Benítez’s side were sent off for a foul on Manu Sanchez. A penalty was called for, but De Burgos Bengoetxea didn’t understand that was enough to indicate a maximum penalty.

After a quarter of an hour, both teams were more concerned with not making mistakes than finding their opponents’ mistakes. Only Luis Suarez and Ramazani could breathe life into Almeria’s attack, and their attempts on the wing ended up causing more pain than glory.

Celta took the lead from a set-piece in the 24th minute and Rojiblanca’s defense just stared at Unai Nunez’s shot, which headed past Maximiano and into the In the middle of Iago Aspas.

Almeria tried to react but Melero’s lack of goal prevented Spain from getting close to the scoreboard before the break.

After the restart, Almeria was logically obliged to take the burden of the game and at least try to equalize. Vicente Moreno tried to inject more fire into Adrián Embarba’s Ibrahima Koné upfield. But Ramazani tried to pull the ball closer to the Celtic area.

Almeria’s boldness paid off as Melero eventually grabbed the rebound after Ramazani’s fine play, who only had to pass the rebound to Akime, who tied the score in the 54th minute. to 1-2.

Almeria dreamed of a comeback and the draw came. In the 68th minute, Ramazani played brilliantly, setting up Sergio Arribas for a superb pass to beat young playmaker Ivan Villar and put the ball in front of the goal.

The locals had great chances to close out the game, with Kone’s run giving the Malians plenty of time to score, but Ivan Villar was brilliant in a one-on-one. The Galician reacted immediately, with Iago Aspas testing Maximiano’s reflexes in a superb save from the Portuguese.

The local side pulled off the feat again in the 75th minute, but Aribas, all by himself, sent the ball into the clouds.

The game turned into a real street run, and Celta had another chance, this time Mingesa, who found a new breakthrough from Maximiano. With no time to get oxygen, Bamba fired a shot from outside the box and Marco Poubier saved the visitors’ goal.
