📝 Match report

Almería settled the match at the Mediterranean Games with two goals in barely twelve minutes: first Nico Melamed in the sixth minute with a powerful strike from distance, then Javi Muñoz in the 18th minute completing a team move started by Luna. The Andalusian side exercised suffocating pressure at the start of the first half that turned any early scramble into routine match business. Celta Fortuna went home empty-handed facing a genuine category heavyweight that was playing in the top flight just two seasons ago, though the truth is the Galician B team showed they had plenty left in the tank: they reacted to the blow, took control of the ball and started playing higher up the pitch, with Capdevila coming close to scoring with a shot that ended up crashing off the crossbar. The drama of the match arrived just before the break, when Bernard Somuah had to be stretchered off after suffering a left ankle injury. The goals from Melamed and Muñoz carried a dedication: Ely, Almería's defender, was spending several days in hospital after picking up an injury in the Córdoba match. After the interval, the introduction of academy prospect Mateo Sobral allowed Celta to gain control, pressing an Almería side that was simply managing their advantage. Óscar Marcos had the clearest chance for the Galicians in the 51st minute, one-on-one with Andrés Fernández, and fired it wide. With this win, Almería secure their third consecutive victory and climb to fourth position to seriously stake their claim for everything. Xavi García Pimienta's start has been excellent, the kind that builds real hope; now comes the time to prove that the Mediterranean Games Almería are just as dangerous away from home as they've looked at theirs.
