Almeria 1-1 Real Madrid ... 'Meringues' open the door for the Catalans

Almeria managed a creditable and experienced tie against Real Madrid (1-1) that does little to both, as the team Almeria is in the relegation zone and Madrid Barcelona put on a plate to the honorary title of winter champions. The Argentine Leo Ulloa both in Ecuador of the second half-off the low efficiency and intensity of the merengue group that, with Karim Benzema French output, to replace Kaka won in depth and might produce the tying goal scored by Esteban Granero.

Almeria endured the first half with a football with which he managed to control the continuous rush of Real Madrid was in possession of the ball, but he missed with the goal of Diego Alves, star of the game. Almeria sought sole weapon against not help but think to Real Madrid, who warned early, but Özil narrowly failed a deep ball that served as Kaka, Benzema detrimental holder.

With the passing of the minutes were still chances for Real Madrid, but Alves was the main character's attempts to fend off Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Xabi Alonso to overtake his team. Almeria, without fail, I could dream of doing harm, but was aware that any loss could generate a scoring chance for Madrid.

For several minutes both teams struggled in midfield but neither would budge. The Madrid controlled the ball and just trying to steal Almería. In a counter the stroke of half, Cristiano burst the ball, but he found Alves, but the rebound came to German Khedira, who failed to exercise the front and ruined a great chance to score.

In the second part there were not many changes in terms of game, although there were fewer occasions. Madrid tried first with a ball for Cristiano, which concentrated at the far post, but Diego Alves was anticipated when Di Maria was ready for the auction. At that time, Almeria came up and chastised the lack of intensity and effectiveness Madrid.

The action was due to a pass from Cruse to Piatti, who clashed with Ramos and stopped the ball dead to Ulloa, who made no mistake and fired into the area away from Iker Casillas. With the score against the Madrid changed with the entry in the field of Benzema and Barn, to replace Kaka and Albiol, and harassed relentlessly Alves' goal, which was aborted each and every one of Real Madrid's actions endangered.

However, in the absence of a quarter to the end, Benzema got the ball on the edge of the area and gave the right to Barn, who hooked a hard shot to which Alves was powerless to prevent the deadlock. The last minutes were of harassment of Madrid, he could win a free kick from Ronaldo that crashed violently into the crossbar.
