There were doubts about how Eibar was going to respond after the blow last Sunday. And he has done it in the best of ways. The azulgranas have jumped onto the Montilivi pitch with the intention of healing the deep wound they suffered in Alcorcón and by the sixth minute they have already warned that they were going for it all after the Catalan defense had to get a ball under the sticks to the exit of a corner.
Aketxe’s great goal from more than forty meters left the fans present in Motilivi speechless and put Garitano’s side in the match. But in the final minutes of the first half the match turned uphill for them after Tejero received a double yellow for hitting a Girona player.
During the second part, Eibar could not help but resist the few attacks that Girona gave them. Stuani’s shot to the crossbar was the clearest opportunity for Míchel’s men, who were unable to overcome the iron defense that Garitano had.
Ipurua will decide this Sunday at 8:30 p.m. the team that will play the final phase of this playoff for promotion to the First Division. Eibar struck first and started with an advantage.
