Almeria coach Garitano fears for team after Betis stalemate

Almeria coach Gaizka Garitano admits he fears for his team after their 0-0 draw with Real Betis.

Almeria failed to break down Betis which saw Hector Bellerin sent off on 27 minutes.

Garitano said: "It seems impossible to win a game. It's a shame because we had many scoring chances and it was a game to be won, clearly, but we didn't get it right and we didn't score a goal. We leave with a draw that tastes like practically nothing to us.

“We have done what had to be done to win; create, play well, make scoring chances and allow little. Sooner or later we will win, but today we missed a very good opportunity because they were down to ten and we had many chances to have scored at least a goal.

“We came from two pretty good games, both Real [Sociedad] at home and Getafe away. The team is on the rise, but we are not winning and in the end, here you live by results. It's a shame because today we deserved to win. Even though they were with ten, the team played a complete game. We didn't get it right up front, their goalkeeper was also very good, the woodwork. This is the path we want to be on, but today we missed a very good opportunity to win."
