Outstanding performance
SD Eibar•DefenderFC Andorra completely dominated the underlying numbers, racking up 78% possession, 28 shots and 104 dangerous attacks to Eibar's paltry 19, yet somehow found themselves chasing the game from the second minute of the second half. Aleix Garrido punished a slow Andorra restart to fire Eibar in front, and despite Jon Magunazelaia's dismissal for the visitors on 56 minutes leaving them a man down for over half an hour, Eibar's defence held firm with five saves and 14 tackles to see out a backs-to-the-wall victory. Andorra threw men forward late on, and substitute Efe Akman thought he'd rescued a point deep into stoppage time, but the goal was disallowed or didn't stand as the scoreline held at 0-1. It's a damaging result for Andorra given their total control of the ball and territory, while Eibar will take enormous confidence from digging in for three away points with ten men against a side they barely saw the ball from.
