“Andrés Martín gives Racing the lead with a clinical finish”
Pivotal“Javi Martón equalizes six minutes after coming on”
PivotalSD Eibar showcased their championship credentials with a spirited comeback victory over Racing Santander at Ipurua. After falling behind to Andrés Martín's 22nd-minute opener, the hosts struggled to break down a disciplined Racing side until manager Joseba Etxeberria's tactical masterstroke at the hour mark. The triple substitution on 65 minutes transformed the match, with Javi Martón leveling just six minutes after his introduction with a well-taken finish. Racing's hopes of securing a valuable point evaporated when Gustavo Puerta received his marching orders with five minutes remaining, leaving his side vulnerable to late pressure. This result keeps Eibar firmly in the promotion hunt while Racing's away form continues to be a concern in their bid to climb the Segunda División table.
