  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — UD Almería and Real Sociedad de Fútbol get this one started.
  • 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 10' 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 Rodrigo Ely suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 20' Both keepers have barely been tested. UD Almería and Real Sociedad de Fútbol are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.

  • 35' The energy levels are beginning to show. Imanol Alguacil might look to freshen things up shortly.

  • 45' It looks like no one’s ball. Real Sociedad de Fútbol is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

  • 52' GOAL! Alexander Sorloth fires home to make it 0-2!
