SD Eibar showed remarkable resilience to claim a crucial 2-1 victory over Huesca in a dramatic encounter that turned on its head in the final quarter. After Javi Martón's 50th-minute opener was cancelled out by Javi Mier's equalizer, the match transformed when Julio Alonso received a straight red card for a professional handball in the 74th minute. Sergio Álvarez capitalized on the numerical advantage just four minutes later, proving to be the match-winner as Eibar maintained their composure despite having fewer shots and less possession than their opponents. The victory demonstrates Eibar's clinical finishing and mental strength, converting their limited chances while Huesca's superior possession statistics ultimately counted for nothing.
