Almeria: Dion Lopy opens his scoring account for the season
Dion Lopy kicked off his third season with UD Almeria in spectacular fashion. The Senegalese defensive midfielder found the back of the net during a thrilling, action-packed match against Albacete (4-4) on Monday evening, as part of the opening round of Liga Adelante.
The score was tied at one apiece when the 23-year-old put his side ahead in the 51st minute. This was only his second goal in 74 appearances for the Spanish club, having found the net just once last season.It's an encouraging start for the Senegal international (5 goals) who is targeting a return to La Liga with Almeria after narrowly missing out on promotion at the end of the 2024-2025 campaign.It's worth noting that Almeria escaped defeat thanks to an equalizer from Léo Baptistao deep into stoppage time (90+10’). Their next fixture is set against Cultural Leonesa on Sunday, August 24, 2025.
