Almería are now joint bottom of the first division together with Hércules after they were beaten 1-0 by Sporting Gijón, a result which takes the Asturians six points above their opponents in the table. The match was not without controversy though, De las Cuevas clearly controlling the ball with his arm before scoring the only goal of the match in the thirteenth minute. Before that André Castro had headed against the post, but after the goal the best chances fell to the visitors, Mbami shooting over the top and Juan Pablo saving a header from Goitom, who also had a strike ruled out for offside. The local keeper almost let Goitom through after the break, and a defender cleared an Ulloa header off the line soon afterwards. But Sporting held on for an important win which ended Almería's mini-run of three games without defeat.
