ALBOX V PARADOR (1-1)
Sunday 25th November
This was a meeting between two teams which were promoted last season.
The game started very slowly with each side playing very carefully not to give anything away. Albox’s first effort on goal came in the 18th minute. Parador was awarded a penalty on 22 minutes and scored to take the lead, then came close to increasing the lead with a great strike on 35 minutes.
Albox came close to scoring in the 40th minute with a great free kick. Albox scored the goal they had been searching for right on half time when they scored from a corner.
Both teams seemed happy with a point each as there was not a lot of good play in the second half and both keepers were only called on once each to make any saves of note.
ATARFE V ALBOX (1-0)
Sunday 2nd December
This was a great result for Albox and moved them up the league.
Atarfe was in third place in the league before this game, so it was a good result for Albox to come away with all three points winning the game. Well done lads!
UNIÓN DEPORTIVA ALMERÍA
What an end to the month for UD Almería.
On the 25th the team played away to Villarreal, the second placed team in the Premier League, and came away with a tremendous result in drawing 1-1.
Then there was the game on the night of Saturday 1st December against local Andaluz rivals and superstars Sevilla, which was shown on primetime TV.
Sevilla was brought down to earth after the team’s Champions League win over Arsenal midweek, a 1-0 defeat at the hand of Almería leaving them below their opponents in the bottom half of the table.
The hero of the night was local keeper Diego Alves, who had been included in the side as Cobeno was not allowed to play under his loan contract; he made important saves from Navas, Kanoute and Capel in the first hour or so.
Sevilla’s Daniel Alvess was sent off for a second bookable offence in the first minute of the second half, and Acasiete headed the only goal from Corona’s free kick.
