Andorra experienced a déjà vu in Almeria in a match that, unfortunately, has been repeated many times this season. The tricolors found themselves trailing 2-0 at halftime, and it was only then that they managed to pin their opponent near their area. However, the good second half was not enough.

Despite the halftime score, the team from the Principality did not have a bad first half. Miguel de la Fuente tried with a central shot into Pau López's hands in the 6th minute, but even so, Andorra started the match quite well. Brave and with personality, they managed to take the ball from Almería in the early stages. The problem is that the Andalusians are the leaders of the category for a reason, and it became evident when they found space to cause damage. The home team scored in almost the only two clear chances they had in the first half.

The first came from a penalty caused by Miguel de la Fuente, which Arribas converted (25’), and the 2-0 came from a great move by de la Fuente, who didn’t miss with a precise shot to the post.

The tricolors tried to shake up the game with a triple substitution at halftime, and indeed, one of the new players, Serbian Golubović, had two clear chances in the first ten minutes.

The good momentum continued with contributions from the substitutes: Enes Sali forced Andrés Fernández into a great save with a powerful shot from outside the area, a chance that was the prelude to the 2-1: Carrique won a penalty, and Hugo López made no mistake from the spot.

The goal gave wings to Andorra, who immediately after had a good chance to equalize with a cross from Enes Sali that Hugo López acrobatically headed. But as the minutes passed, and despite creating some opportunities, the tricolors’ equalizing goal never came.
