Cipenga assists against Leganés as Almería win 3-0

Brian Cipenga supplied the assist for UD Almería’s second goal in their 3-0 win over CD Leganés on Sunday, October 11, in round 9 of LaLiga Hypermotion. The league’s official match commentary credits the DR Congo international with the cross headed home by Miguel de la Fuente in the 57th minute.

Almería reached half-time at 0-0. Miguel de la Fuente came on at the break and opened the scoring in the 52nd minute before adding his second from Cipenga’s delivery. Daijiro Chirino made it 3-0 in the 61st minute, assisted by Quim Junyent. Cipenga started the match and was replaced by Jon Morcillo in the 81st minute, according to the official match record.

Cipenga’s LaLiga profile displayed four assists under its 2026-2027 season statistics when checked on October 12. FOOT.CD also reports this fourth assist. These are Almería league statistics, not an all-competitions or national-team total; the profile does not provide a separate statistical cutoff date for the cumulative figure.

The Congolese player’s contribution is therefore clearly documented: a decisive cross that extended the lead during Almería’s three-goal second half. LaLiga explicitly identifies his country as DR Congo, and the club has also confirmed his call-ups to the Congolese national team.
