(Reuters) - Atletico Madrid were held to 1-1 draw by Almeria in LaLiga on Sunday in another disappointing showing for Diego Simeone's team who ended the match with 10 men after Sergio Reguilon was sent off in the dying minutes.
Atletico, who have won only one of their last six LaLiga games, are fourth in the standings on 28 points, level with Villarreal and Real Betis. They are 13 points adrift of leaders Barcelona, who have a game in hand.
Atletico had an effort ruled out a few minutes later after Geoffrey Kondogbia touched Marcos Llorente's goal-bound shot over the line when he was standing in an offside position. Toure almost gave Almeria the lead early in the second half but his close-range shot was blocked by a defender near the goalline.
