Real Sociedad II
SD Eibar
SD Eibar secured a crucial away victory in the Basque derby thanks to Anaitz Arbilla's early strike, which proved enough to overcome Real Sociedad II despite a competitive contest. The visitors demonstrated impressive clinical finishing, converting one of their 11 shots while forcing four saves from the home goalkeeper, contrasting sharply with Sociedad II who managed just two shots on target from 12 attempts despite enjoying 52% possession. The match grew increasingly tense as it progressed, with both managers making multiple substitutions in the final third to try and influence the outcome, before tempers boiled over in stoppage time with arguments leading to yellow cards for both Arbilla and Sociedad's Tomy Carbonell. This result strengthens Eibar's position in the promotion race while dealing a blow to Sociedad II's own aspirations in what was a typically intense Segunda División encounter.
