The match, corresponding to the first leg of the First Division promotion play-off semi-finals, became difficult for the visitors after a local goal just before halftime. Despite the initial setbacks, the Andalusian team managed to withstand the opponent's pressure during the first half.
The response came after the hour mark. The Andalusian team's striker managed to level the score in one of the few clear scoring opportunities generated by the visitors throughout the ninety minutes. This result allows UD Almería to face the return leg at the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos with the tie wide open.
This draw marks a statistical milestone for the club, which had not managed to avoid defeat in a first-leg promotion match since 2013. On that occasion, the team eventually achieved promotion to the top flight of Spanish football after overcoming their respective knockout rounds.
