Relegation-threatened Almería this evening etched their name into the history books of Spanish football… for all the wrong reasons.
Gaizka Garitano’s troops marked their return to action a short time ago.
Glued to the bottom of the La Liga table, the Rojiblancos made the trip to Los Cármenes, for a meeting with fellow strugglers Granada.
And, with 75 minutes on the clock, it was the evening’s visitors who boasted the advantage, owing to Marc Pubill’s early opener.
Just when it looked as though Almería may at long last manage to get three points on the board, however, yet again, they were pegged back.
As much came by way of a Myrto Uzuni equaliser, ultimately proving decisive en route to a 1-1 draw.
Almería, as a result, remain cut adrift at the bottom of Spain’s top-flight, without a win across the entirety of the campaign to date.
Not only that, but they have now officially secured for themselves the altogether undesirable record of most successive La Liga fixtures without a single victory, at 28.
