Outstanding performance
SD Eibar•AttackerEibar pulled off a masterclass in ruthless efficiency, doing the damage before the match had barely started. Javier Martón struck twice inside 16 minutes to give the Basques a two-goal cushion they would never relinquish, despite being outplayed for large stretches of the contest. The statistics tell a story of total Córdoba dominance — 59% possession, 20 shots, 13 corners, and 74 dangerous attacks to Eibar's 30 — yet it was the home side who walked away with a clean sheet, with goalkeeper and backline combining for five saves to keep the visitors at bay. For Córdoba, the result is a damaging one given their league position, their inability to convert a single big chance from 20 attempts summing up a deeply frustrating afternoon. Eibar, by contrast, will take enormous heart from a display that showed just how dangerous they can be on the counter, converting two of their two big chances while their opponents squandered the one they created.
