Almeria welcomed Levante to the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos on Saturday looking to record their first three points of the season.
Both sides had a couple of opportunities in the first period, but it was Almeria that took the lead late in the half courtesy of a penalty from Verza.
The home side doubled their lead in the early stages of the second courtesy of a long-range strike from Suso, but a Nabil El Zhar penalty cut the deficit to 2-1 after Christian Fernandez had been sent off for Almeria.
Levante were level on the hour mark when Pape Diop struck an unstoppable volley from outside the box, but neither side could find a winner in the latter stages.
