Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: UD Almeria gets underway.
  • 5' Nelson Monte has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' UD Almeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' It looks surprising CD Castellon does not make any changes. Jon Morcillo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' UD Almeria is showing some good football. However, UD Almeria are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 24' Stefan Dzodic is having his name booked by the referee on 24.
  • 29' It looks like no one’s ball. UD Almeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 34' CD Castellon is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ronaldo on 34.
  • 38' The referee calls foul for Ronaldo. He receives a card.
  • 43' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. UD Almeria needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 45' CD Castellon manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Martin Conde is hanging Lucas Alcazar on the field on 45 minute.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Miguel. He replaces Rodrigo Ely on 46 minute.
  • 51' Supporters expect more eagerness from Fabrizio Brignani, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Municipal Castalia with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 54' It’s a booking for UD Almeria player. Federico Bonini gets a card.
  • 56' The whistle greets Ronaldo as he departs to be replaced by Marc-Olivier Doue.
  • 59' Another change for UD Almeria made on 59 minute. Patrick Soko leaves to be changed by Jon Morcillo.
  • 64' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sergio Arribas made 545 appearances and scored 21 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 67' The supporters are chanting for Nico Melamed. He replaces Leo Baptistao on 67 minute.
  • 72' Romain Matthys needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 74' Andre Horta is replacing Stefan Dzodic for the UD Almeria side.
  • 75' CD Castellon receives a card for a hard tackle on 75.
  • 76' That looks like a foul for a card for Andre Horta.
  • 77' That looks like a foul for a card for Daijiro Chirino.
  • 82' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Andre Horta suffering a number of foals already.
  • 84' Alvaro Garcia is replacing Ousmane Camara for the CD Castellon side.
  • 89' CD Castellon receives a card for a hard tackle on 89.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
