The visitors quickly seized control. In the 18th minute, Arribas grabbed his second, this time combining with Adri Embarba to turn the game around and put Almería 2-1 ahead. Granada’s frustration grew when Sergio Ruiz was booked in the 37th minute, and Almería capitalised moments later. Arribas completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot in the 38th minute, extending the advantage to 3-1 before half-time.

Granada made a double change at the break, introducing Pablo Sáenz and Izan González, but Almería remained clinical. In the 68th minute, Miguel added a fourth for the visitors, finishing a move set up by Álex Muñoz to make it 4-1.

The hosts continued to push and found a late consolation deep into stoppage time. In the 90+7th minute, substitute Pablo Sáenz reduced the deficit to 4-2 after being set up by Rubén Alcaraz, but it was too late to spark a comeback.

Both sides used their benches heavily in the second half, and yellow cards were shown to Sergio Ruiz, Stefan Džodić and Babacar Diocou. Beyond goals, bookings and substitutions, detailed match statistics and further in-game events were not available in the provided data.
