MADRID, 31 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
SD Eibar closed the year 2021 in positions of direct promotion to LaLiga Santander after beating Real Sociedad B with much suffering 3-2 in Ipurua, while Ponferradina fell away from this fight after falling 2-0 in Oviedo, in Matches corresponding to the twenty-second round of LaLiga SmartBank 2021-2022.
The ‘armero’ team is three points behind the leader Almería, with two more games, and four ahead of Tenerife, who still have to play this day, after pulling off a derby that seemed to be under control after the first 45 minutes and that it was complicated in the second half.
Gustavo Blanco put Eibar ahead after two minutes and an own goal by Jeremy Blasco put a 2-0 in favor of the locals that seemed almost definitive against an opponent who had five defeats in a row. But Xabi Alonso’s men reacted after the break and goals from Magunazelaia and Blasco equalized. When the ‘Sanse’ savored a point, Edu Expósito left the three in Ipura in the final arreón.
For its part, Ponferradina could not be placed third provisionally after losing 2-0 in their visit to Carlos Tartiere where they fell 2-0 in a clash where they played with ten from minute 16 due to expulsion from Espiau. Even so, the team of Jon Pérez Bolo, who also lost Naranjo by red when he had not yet gone out on the field, held out until 62 when he conceded the first goal from Borja Sánchez. Copete would be the third visitor sent off after addressing the referee after a penalty committed by himself and that Pombo transformed to leave the Asturian team sixth.
In addition, this last day of 2021 also left a two-goal tie at El Plantío between Burgos and Amorebieta, both newly promoted. Guillermo and Valcarce made it 2-0 in the 21st minute, but the Basque team replied with a double from Obieta.
