Outstanding performance
SD Eibar•MidfielderEibar blew Las Palmas away inside nine minutes, with Ander Madariaga and Alvaro Rodriguez Perez both scoring off Malcom Adu assists to make it 2-0 before the game had settled. Las Palmas hit back through Valentin Pezzolesi before half-time and always looked capable of causing problems, dominating possession and dangerous attacks despite trailing, but Javi Martón's well-worked goal after the Betancor substitution restored Eibar's two-goal cushion just after the hour. Jefte Betancor's late strike set up a tense finish, and Iñaki González's second yellow card in stoppage time left Eibar to see out the final minutes with ten men. The win lifts Eibar back into the promotion picture while Las Palmas, despite dominating the underlying numbers with more possession, passes and dangerous attacks, will rue their slow start and costly missed chances in a game that had major implications for the title race.
