Almería gives themselves a festival in front of Alcorcón with a stellar Sadiq

The match seemed to start with an Alcorcón who wanted to take the initiative but Almería had enough five minutes to do the first. Robertone’s shot is rejected after being touched by Bellvís and it falls to Sadiq who does not fail only against Dani Jiménez. Almería hit first.

Alcorcón looked for the reaction first with possession and then with occasions like the one that Asencio had at 13 minutes with a header that found no goal. But Sadiq needed very little to bite. Filtered pass for the Nigerian who into space and after a cut made the second with the left at a quarter of an hour. Almería could not put the game better.

The second goal unraveled an Alcorcón that was a jelly in defense and a compass with no north in the core. Almería locked the locals in their field thanks to great pressure and the potters own failures. The Alcorcón did not compete and that against one of the greats is paid. Those of Anquela only found the light in some flash of Moyano and in some strategy play.

Things could still be worse for Alcorcón in the first half. At 36 minutes Carlos Hernández tries to clear a ball in the area, but hits Ramazani. At least that’s how the referee understood it after watching it on television. Penalty that Sadiq finishes and after hitting the crossbar and Dani Jiménez’s back the ball sneaks inside. In minute 43 ‘Sadiq was able to make the fourth after leaving Carlos Hernández and crossing a shot that Dani Jiménez brushed against. Just two minutes later Sadiq decided that the festival should continue and with a shot from more than 40 meters he smashed a ball off the crossbar. Sadiq was the owner and lord of the party.

After the restart the first three plays were three offside of Almería. For the first time in the game, the pottery defense beat the Almería attack. Anquela sought the resurrection with three offensive changes: Xisco, Arribas and Juan Hernández for Bellvís, Gorostidi and Hugo Fraile. At 55 minutes, the first clear chance for Arribas, but his shot found no goal. The Alcorcón wanted to compete. At 66 minutes the referee annulled a goal for offside to Xisco.

The reaction from Alcorcón reached that point. Two minutes later Robertone with a cross shot scored the fourth goal for Almería that ended the game. It would still give time for Moyano, in an individual play in the area, to crash a ball into the post. It was clear that it was not the night of the Alcorcón. The victory puts Almería in direct promotion.

Anquela: “We are used to punches, but we have to get up”

Juan Antonio Anquela, Alcorcón coach, regretted the defeat against Almería, acknowledged that the rival was “infinitely better in the first half”, and was self-critical in ensuring that they are “used to punches but you have to get up and do it all in the same direction, something that is complicated.” Alcorcón fell thrashed against Almería, who in the first half went into halftime with an advantage of three goals, and added their fifth defeat of the season. “In the first half, Almería was infinitely better and surpassed us in everything. In the second, with 0-3, They had it under control, but we fought until the last second and that’s what I was left with. We have had options to get into the game but we have not succeeded, “Anquela said at a press conference.

The Jaen coach, hurt by the defeat, was upset with some aspects that, in his opinion, can influence the team’s performance. “We are used to being punched but to get up we must do it in the same direction, something complicated, because when problems come soccer each one tries to be seen as little as possible,” he confessed. “Now is when people have to be more integrated and be calmer. Here it is not worth messing with one or the other. We have to all go hand in hand, inside and out. We must all go the same way. We are used to suffering, it will touch us and we will surely do it, “he said.” We are a very humble team that is always above the results that are achieved. It is time to join, “he concluded.- EFE

Rubi: “We have a very ambitious player profile, he never conforms”

Rubi, Almería coach, assured that the match in Alcorcón was “the most forceful” of all they have been this season, described the first part as “extraordinary” and stressed that he has a “profile of very ambitious players, who are not satisfied never”. Almería, with two goals from Nigerian Sadiq Umar, one from Alejandro Pozo and another from Dani Jiménez on their own goal, achieved a resounding victory in Santo Domingo. “It was the most forceful match at the scoreboard level and I would say that the first half was extraordinary. In the second they made us have a bad time, the Alcorcón players emptied themselves, but when we scored the fourth there it was over”, Rubi said at a press conference.

Despite having the victory in the second half, Almería continued to seek to score more goals until the last minute. “We have a profile of very ambitious players, who are not satisfied, and when we play as a team, the eleven players look good. The player who materializes draws attention but for my part he highlighted everyone. It has been a very complete game in general, “he concluded. – EFE
