SD Eibar - Athletic Club

SD Eibar 0 Athletic Club 1

Athletic Club has defeated the SD Eibar in Ipurua. Raul Garcia, in the minute 93, when he struck a volley from Ramis clearance after Yoel’s stop, sentenced an equated derby.

Both teams have conceded few options to their rival, especially in the first half, but it was Eibar team the one which was the most comfortable on the pitch.

With a similar scenario, just after the second half has arrived the clearest option for the Eibar, avoided by Kepa, but the deserved expulsion of Escalante by entry to Muniain has changed the flow of the match. From there has been fulfilled what dictated the logic: The SD Eibar more crouch and Athletic with more ball. Raúl García, with a left-footed volley, and Muniain, a shot that Yoel repelled at his start, have had the two clearest chances.

The first equalled of this second round seemed inevitable, but in the prolongation a foul kick of Beñat has been repelled by Yoel. While several rojiblancos claimed that the ball had entered Ramis has moved the ball away from the small area, but not enough to prevent the volley of Raúl Garcia to slip into the host goal. Another derby to the bag.
