Axel Witsel was placed in the center of the defense by coach Simeone and played the entire game. The team of the 34-year-old Red Devil took the lead through a goal from striker Angel Correa (18.), but squandered his bonus towards the end of the first period. Almeria striker El Bilal Toure (37.) scored the equalizer.
Atletico looked for the winning goal throughout the second half, but finally bit its teeth on the PhD student. In the end it even came down to ten after Sergio Reguilon took his second yellow card.
Largie Ramazani (professor with the national team) came in on the right flank a little after the hour. He didn’t score, but he helped his team to an important point. With 18 points, Almeria are in thirteenth place, but are only three points above the relegation zone. Atletico has 28 points after the draw and already sees the gap with number one Barcelona increase to thirteen points.
