A heroic performance from Almería in their game against Sabadell last time out. Things got complicated when Mathieu Peybernes was sent off in the 41st minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 2-1 victory! Late drama in the previous game, when Largie Ramazani scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time to defeat Sabadell.
