In this heated encounter in the Segunda Division, Albacete Balompie managed to secure a narrow 2-1 victory over UD Almeria, with both sides demonstrating contrasting approaches and effectiveness in their play. Albacete opened the scoring early, gaining momentum with a goal in the 13th minute, effectively setting the tempo for the match. Significant to their success was their ability to capitalize on few opportunities, showcasing a well-organized approach given that they scored twice from relatively few shots on target.

UD Almeria showcased resilience and determination, registering a total of six corner kicks against Albacete's four. Despite dominating in terms of set-piece opportunities, Almeria struggled with discipline, amassing five yellow cards which disrupted their fluidity and ultimately hindered their ability to equalize. Their late goal in the second half was a testament to their perseverance but perhaps a tad too late for a complete comeback.

The teamwork and discipline of Albacete were key aspects in determining the match's outcome. Albacete's defense remained organized, managing their fouls reasonably and staying clear of red cards, whereas Almeria's indiscipline was palpable, with a high number of fouls and yellow cards. This defensive composure allowed Albacete to maintain control despite Almeria’s pressing attacks, holding them to only one goal and keeping Albacete’s lead intact. The strategic substitutions further fortified the host's defense in the later stages of the game, sealing their critical home win.
