Outstanding performance

Eldense dominated territorially with 64% possession, 24 shots and 78 dangerous attacks, yet found themselves undone by a clinical Eibar side who scored with two of their limited chances. Jon Magunazelaia opened the scoring against the run of play just before the half-hour mark, converting from a corner, and Ivan Gil doubled the lead shortly after the hour following a string of Eldense misses. Justin Smith gave the hosts hope with a goal in the 76th minute, but Eldense's wastefulness in front of goal - six shots on target from 24 attempts - proved costly as Eibar held on. The result keeps Eibar's promotion push alive while Eldense will rue their profligacy, having created enough to win the game comfortably on the underlying numbers.
