Almeria
Almeria started with a 4-2-3-1 formation, looking to control the midfield and exploit the flanks. They opened the scoring in the 41st minute, capitalizing on a well-worked move. Despite conceding twice in the second half and briefly trailing, Almeria showed great character to rally, equalizing in the 80th minute before snatching victory at the death. Their 13 shots (4 on target) highlighted their attacking ambition, though they were forced to withstand periods of Castellón pressure. Defensively, Almeria had to dig deep, committing 20 fouls and picking up four yellow cards as they struggled to contain Castellón's forward line. However, their late-game composure and tactical substitutions paid dividends, allowing them to turn the tide in a frenetic finale.
Key Players
Strengths
Weaknesses
Castellón
Castellón set up in a 4-4-2, pressing high and enjoying the majority of possession (52%). After falling behind late in the first half, they responded impressively, scoring twice in the 57th and 69th minutes to take the lead. Their 10 shots, with 6 on target, showcased their efficiency in attack, and they looked poised to take something from the match. Despite their attacking verve and a disciplined defensive display (just one yellow card and 14 fouls), Castellón struggled to maintain control in the closing stages. Almeria's late surge exposed their defensive frailties, and they ultimately succumbed to a last-gasp goal that denied them a valuable away point.

Strengths
Weaknesses
Tactical Analysis
Almeria's 4-2-3-1 provided midfield solidity but at times left them outnumbered against Castellón's high-pressing 4-4-2. The hosts relied on quick transitions and wide play, with Embarba and Arribas supporting de la Fuente. Castellón's double pivot in midfield allowed them to control possession and press aggressively, forcing turnovers and creating chances on the break. Substitutions in the second half injected fresh energy into Almeria's attack, shifting the momentum in the final 15 minutes. Castellón, meanwhile, appeared content to protect their lead after going ahead, but their defensive line dropped too deep, inviting pressure that ultimately led to their undoing.
Turning Point
Almeria's equalizer in the 80th minute shifted the momentum and set the stage for their dramatic late winner.
