Celta Fortuna
SD Eibar
Outstanding performance
SD Eibar•GoalkeeperCelta Fortuna dominated the ball with 67% possession, 24 shots and 658 passes at 90% accuracy, yet found themselves four goals down by half-time against a ruthless Eibar side. The visitors needed just three real chances in the opening 20 minutes to score three times through Jon Magunazelaia, Malcom Adu and Jon Guruzeta, before Guruzeta added a second before the break to make it 0-4. Eibar's defensive numbers tell the story of a backs-to-the-wall performance that somehow yielded a rout - 20 tackles, 9 saves and only 33% possession, but four goals from just seven shots on target. The result is a damaging one for Celta Fortuna given their pre-match position of relative comfort, while a second yellow for Fredi Álvarez early in the second half only compounded the misery, though by then the game was already lost.
