Almeria, Celta Vigo share the spoils

Almeria edge two points clear of the La Liga relegation zone thanks to a 2-2 draw at home to Celta Vigo in a match that saw both sides reduced to 10 men.

Almeria edged further away from the La Liga relegation zone thanks to a 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo in a match that saw both sides reduced to 10 men this evening.

The visitors took the lead at the Estadio Mediterraneo just after the quarter-hour mark when Michael Krohn-Dehli had an effort blocked before Nolito volleyed the rebound into the top corner.

Almeria threatened through Thievy Bifouma but soon conceded a second in the 39th minute, courtesy of Jose Casado's miscued back-pass that was pounced upon by Santi Mina and slotted past Ruben.

The hosts were brighter after the restart and pulled a goal back when goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez palmed a Javier Espinoza strike into the path of Bifouma, who fired home from close range.

Celta's mission to hang on to the lead then suffered a setback in the 54th minute, Gustavo Cabral receiving a straight red card for bringing Bifouma to ground just outside the box.

Indeed, Almeria were back on level terms in the 68th minute when Sebastian Dubarbier's low cross towards goal was bundled into the net by Jonathan Zongo.

Soon enough, the hosts encountered a setback of their own as they were also reduced to 10 men, Mauro Dos Santos's late challenge on Pedro Hernandez prompting the referee to send the former off with a second yellow.

Ultimately neither side could score a late winner as the spoils were shared in Andalusia, with the hosts climbing up to 16th in the La Liga table, two points clear of the drop zone, while Celta rise to ninth place.
