Almería clinches three points as Vinicius stars in win over Mallorca

Three goals from the Brazilian striker powered Almería to a win that keeps them within reach of safety as Mallorca felt the pressure of a late-season chase. The home side showed patience and technical depth in the second half, and Lázaro Vinicius delivered the moment of magic that sealed the three points with one touch from Luis Suárez on the right creating the space for a decisive finish. Mallorca arrived with a clear plan to dominate possession, but Almería steadied themselves and repelled the advances before striking on the break to clinch the triumph.

Almería controlled the tempo after the break, while Mallorca sought to shift the balance through changes from the bench. Javier Aguirre tried to inject width on the flanks, yet the necessary breakthrough in the attacking third remained elusive for much of the game. The visitors faced a difficult night as the Indálic side grew in confidence and executed on the break with precision.
