After a bright start to the game, Miguel Angel Corona opened the scoring for Almeria after a sharp shot from inside the Deportivo area. The way goal left Deportivo needing three goals to qualify and that was four a minute later when Albert Crusat put Almeria 2-0 ahead on the night with a shot that took a deflection before ending in the back of the net.

Pablo Alvarez gave some emotion to the game when he pulled a goal back just before halftime and Adrian Lopez leveled the score on the night from the penalty spot six minutes into the second half.

That left Deportivo still needing two goals to qualify and their dream was ended five minutes later when Henok Goitom added a third for Almeria to effectively kill off the tie.

Almeria sure to want to avoid a repeat of the 8-0 thrashing they received from Barcelona earlier in the season in the BBVA Primera Liga.
