Almería could not continue its good performance in Copa del Rey as the Andalucian team, with Carlos Cuéllar out due to an injury, lost to Elche at home (2-3) despite taking the lead with a beautiful goal from Quique González. The defensive mistakes sentenced Miguel Rivera team. Hadzic from a free kick made the second for Almería in the 87 minute, but there was not enough time to level the game.
Cuéllar, who has a rectus femoris strained in his left leg, could not play. His absence weakens the defense so the Madrid born centre back has been training hard in the gym to try to come back as soon as possible.
With no Cup tie this week, Almería willl have the whole week to prepare the next game. Next weekend Almería will travel to Mallorca to try to amend the situation. The kick off will be next Sunday at 12 am.
