The forcefulness of the Colombian Luis Suárez, author of the two goals that defined the match -one penalty before the break and another at the beginning of the second half -allowed the Almería to win a crucial victory against Racing de Ferrol, despite the fact that his football was not colorful.
Despite the difficulties in controlling the game and generating danger, the effectiveness of Santa Marta's footballer was enough to ensure the three points in a match marked by the lack of fluidity and alternate domain, but with tactical deficiencies and excessive dependence on individualities, demonstrating that there are still aspects to improve.

The thirty -day game of LaLiga Hypermotion (Second Division) began with both teams looking for the goal, although Racing showed some more initiative. Almería generated danger in the 6th minute with a play by Baptistao and Luis Suárez, but the rival plants managed to disrupt the action.
Although the rojiblancos tried to approach with isolated actions, such as a cross shot by Baptistao and an attempt by Melamed in 15, they lacked clarity to end. The feeling was of a visiting team that dominated the rhythm without translating it on clear occasions, while Almería had a hard time finding spaces in attack.
Ferrol Racing ordered the best opportunities in the final stretch of the first half, with dangerous auctions from Naldo and Josep Squeeze that they demanded Fernando Martínez. However, Almeria managed to get ahead in the 43rd minute thanks to a penalty committed on Luis Suárez, who turned the goal that gave their peace of mind just before the break.
This allowed the rojiblancos to face the second half with more confidence after a first part characterized by the lack of intensity and nervousness on both sides.
The beginning of the second part gave momentary peace of mind to Almeria thanks to the connection between Pubill and Luis Suárez. A precise side of the side found the Pichichi of the category, who executed a magnificent hit to send the ball to the network, expand the advantage and place with 25 in the second gunner table.
However, the rojiblanco team failed to clear the doubts. Although Ferrol Racing lost intensity compared to the first half, Almeria continued to show some uneasiness, wasting occasions as a header of Leo Baptistao after another great pubill service.
The Ferrolano team, dressed curiously with the colors of Cartagena -the second colist -tried to react and approached dangerously in the 72nd minute with a header of Álvaro Giménez that came out of little. Rubi sought to oxygenate his team with changes, giving entrance to Gui Guedes and Alejandro Pozo, which helped Almería more control the ball and limit the arrivals of the rival. However, Racing still showed signs of life, generating sporadic danger and maintaining tension in the final minutes.
In the extension, Racing de Ferrol found reward to its insistence. A shot by Raúl Blanco inside the area was rejected by Fernando Martínez, but Álvaro Giménez took the rebound to mark and reduce the difference in the scoreboard. This goal revived the ghosts of an Almeria who, although he managed to maintain the result, suffered until the last moment, once again evidencing his problems of defensive solidity and his tendency to complicate even with an advantage in the scoreboard.
