Indeed, while Gorka Guruzeta opened the scoring very early for the locals, the latter completed their success after the break thanks to achievements from Dani Garcia (2-0, 66th) and Oihan Sancet (3-0, 81st) . A success which allows them to glean fourth place while Almeria sinks into the twists and turns of the championship after a sixth defeat in nine La Liga matches.
