Ferdinand. He allowed his team to stay alive until the last play. In minute 23 he got a good header to Bernardo and in minute 39 another to Santi Bueno. In the last minutes he successfully saved a one-on-one with Iván Martín.
Bunuel. Rubi opted for the one from Tafalla, placing Pozo as a winger, a move that he modified at halftime. The number ‘2’ put in a couple of interesting crosses, but his best assist was on 44′, looking for Portillo with his head, who came very hard at the far post.
He and. In the middle of the first act, he took the 0-2 scoreline after saving Buñuel previously. He was charged with a yellow card for the entire second half for protesting.
Babec. He did a good defensive job and a few centimeters prevented him from establishing the tie in the final discount, when he headed a ball to the crosshead.
Akieme. Very irregular, today gave the lime. A bad clearance of his to the center caused the play of the goal.
Of the sickle. One more center-back taking out the ball played to give Buñuel and Akieme room, lowering Eguaras to receive. Without Ramazani, he took responsibility for the penalty shot, shooting to the left of Juan Carlos, who guessed it. He did not dare in the repetition of the maximum penalty.
Water well. He played one half as a winger and the other as a winger, carrying more danger in the first half. In the twelfth minute he put a good cross into Portillo. He was key in the high pressure exerted by Almería.
Robertone. He was one of the three novelties in the rojiblanco eleven, returning a month later after passing through the infirmary. He did not come into contact as he would have liked. In minute 50, before leaving substituted, he looked for Juan Carlos’s right squad.
Eguars. He has settled in the eleven, acting today as an interior, but going down to receive the ball from his team. He took responsibility when Almería was at its worst, appearing to try to make the game more fluid and pressing up front when Girona had the ball; even so, the rojiblanco midfield had shortcomings.
gate. Occupying interior corridors to leave the band to Akieme, he did not finish filtering that last pass. He stepped on the area, where two good balls from Buñuel and Portillo arrived.
Sousa. It premiered as a starter at the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos, without much success. At four minutes he had a very clear goal opportunity after a robbery by Pozo, missing the definition with a shot that was too crossed. At fifteen minutes he also had one of the clearest chances, after combing a header from Pozo. He left in the 63rd minute for Juan Villar to enter.
Ribbon. He doesn’t finish finding his best version. It was Rubi’s alternative to shake up his team, the Cadiz player coming in after the break.
Puigmal. He gave Almería another rhythm, appearing between the lines as he likes and being very vertical breaking lines.
Villar. He hooked a very dangerous volley from 30 meters on the first ball he touched. He walked away in frustration after missing the second penalty attempt, sending the shot into the clouds.
Appiah. He gave Almería electricity with his diagonals from the right wing. He caused the penalty by being brought down by Aleix García.
Sparkles. He entered in the absence of ten minutes for Akieme to try to supply balls to the area from the left.
Ruby. He opted for Robertone to replace the sanctioned Costa and for Buñuel to fill the gap for the injured Ramazani, passing Pozo to the winger. Sousa was the third novelty in the eleven. After the break he sought greater verticality with Lazo. Afterward he practically traded man for man, seeking something different for Appiah.
