Leganés is still fired up and has taken the step they were looking for so much with the victory against Almería to be considered a candidate for direct promotion. Umar Sadiq's goal put José Gómes's team ahead, but Garitano's changes changed the dynamics of the game and Borja Bastón and Omeruo's goals did the rest. Omeruo gave the three points to Lega in 93 '

The duel of candidates for promotion was better started by José Gomes' team. Both coaches made many changes in their last eleven due to the accumulation of matches and the visitors settled down better. Almería took the initiative and immediately took the lead on the scoreboard. Bustinza, at 7 ', slipped at the exit of the ball and the Almeria top scorer Sadiq did not forgive, stole, showed power and dribbling in the race and scored with serenity sending the ball to the short post of Cuéllar.

The goal awakened Leganés, but it was difficult for the pepineros to have clairvoyance above. First Borja Bastón had it to tie, but his shot below him was stopped by Fernando. And then the clearest came from the header of Omeruo and Eraso, but the Nigerian's was taken out by Carvalho and Eraso's did not find a door when he finished off alone in front of goal. Sadiq also had the sentence of the game, but he could not reach Corpas's shot at goal. With still cards on the table, it was time to break.

 

Garitano's 'party'
From the bench, Asier Garitano returned to shake his team after the restart. Palencia and Ibáñez entered for two disappeared, Bustinza and Rosales, and immediately the variations paid off. At 48 'Jonathan Silva, who recovered the best version of him on the left wing of Lega's attack, put a measured center so that Borja Bastón scored with an excellent header from the crossbar. What was the first goal of the Madrid in this new stage of the coach of Bergara.

The draw spurred Leganés, with a suffocating pressure he held hands without letting Almería leave, Rubén Pardo had his usual direct free kick, but this time he did not hit the mark. Overwhelmed by the visitors, José Gómes made a triple change and little by little he grew in the control that he had lost. That helped the visitors and Sadiq scored again, but VAR disallowed his second hand goal. Until the end both teams kept trying, Lega very pressing and vertical and Almería on the backlash.

Sadiq and Gaku tried, but were not as lucky as Omeruo found. The center-back emerged in 94 'and his shot was unstoppable for Fernando, who could only see the points slip away in the extension. In this way, Leganés took advantage of this postponed match that throws them close to direct promotion and gives them the fourth consecutive victory since the arrival of Asier Garitano to the bench.
