The tail derby of La Liga finally hid many emotions!
In one of the most impressive games of this season in Spain, Almeria and Granada they stayed at… satiating 3-3 at the “Power Horse Stadium” for the 8th matchday of the championship, with the guests “stealing” the point of the tie despite the fact that they were behind by three goals from half time!
Specifically, Almeria, in a “hot” five minutes at the end of the first half, took a 3-0 lead thanks to Luis Suarez hat-trick (41′, 44′, 45+1′) after as many assists by Ramadan!
In the 56th minute, Granada missed a unique opportunity to reduce the score, with Puertas missing a penalty, thus opening the door wide for the hosts for their first hat-trick of the season. Nevertheless, Jesus Vallejo’s team not only found the mental reserves to react and return to the match, but with the goals of Zaragoza (65′), Sanchez (70′) and Uzuni (80′), shocked Almeria, leaving with one incredible grade!
Somehow, Almeria remained in last seat of the scoreboard with only 3 points (0-3-5), while her opponent is one place higher with 5 points (1-2-5).
