Vitoria, Nov 5 (EFE).- Deportivo Alavés confirmed this Sunday against Almería the good feelings generated in the previous rounds and won 1-0 after recovering from a missed penalty.
Aleksandar Sedlar tipped the balance in the 79th minute, although the Vitoria team’s goal could have come much earlier because they had many chances, such as a missed penalty before the break by Janis Hagi that could have paved the way for the Basque team, which won again seven days later.
Almería still has not won its first victory and remains at the bottom of the standings.
The locals came out with more ambition in front of the goal in a match that started with intensity.
Alavés also tried with a set piece, but Almería entered well defensively and could not grow as the minutes passed, as they were forced to pay close attention to Glorioso’s left wing.
Antonio Blanco had a good chance to score 20 minutes into the game with a ball that came to him at the penalty spot, but his shot went over Maximiano’s goal.
Luis García Plaza’s men enjoyed long possessions and forced their rival, who was not used to doing so behind the ball, to run. Luis Rioja and Kike García constantly looked for each other and chased the first goal with determination in an Alavés team with the clearest ideas.
Jon Guridi appeared in all spaces for a headless Almería that avoided the goal with a great intervention by Maximiano on a long shot from Antonio Blanco on the stroke of half-time.
Before the intermission he could have changed the direction of the match with a penalty caused by Kike García, but Janis Hagi sent the shot wide from eleven meters and the tie continued in the second half.
Gaizka Garitano’s changes improved Almería significantly. Sergio Arribas and Adrián Embarba offered more possibilities in the offensive actions of the Andalusians, who began to play closer to the goal of Antonio Sivera, who had more work from the opening minutes of the second round.
But the Basque team shot quickly to return the first blows of their rival and Luis Maximiano avoided Kike García’s first goal after a good transition by the Albiazules.
Alavés was recovering the place it had lost at the start of the second act. Luis García Plaza’s men stretched again and did not stop putting balls in the rival area, but they could not find a reward.
Almería once again found it difficult to get out of their lair against an Alavés team that recovered the ball with speed, but still lacked clarity in the final meters.
The local insistence paid off in the 79th minute and Aleksandar Sedlar managed to put the ball into the rival goal after a muddled play after a corner kick for the locals.
Alavés’ changes worked and the Basque team finished much stronger in a match that they dominated practically from the beginning until the end marked by the possible serious injury of Sedlar, the scorer of the goal.
