The draw does not satisfy either Eibar or Valencia

Eibar and Valencia drew (0-0) in Ipurua on Monday, a result that made no one happy. Especially to the Guipuzcoans, who still do not know the victory at home in the 2019-2020 season. The Catalans enjoyed numerous chances to score, but they lacked aim to achieve their second success in a row (they beat Betis in the Verdiblanco fiefdom) and, in addition, goalkeeper Jaume Domenech was the best of the Che, making very good saves. The point tastes better to the Valencians, who stopped their scoring bleeding and added after having lost a week ago with Atlético de Madrid. Thus, both teams remain in the middle of the classification, close to the European positions, but also those of relegation.

Visitor Guedes was the first to attempt a long shot that was stopped by goalkeeper Dmitrovic. But, little by little, the people of Eibar assumed command of the meeting. Thus, the Japanese Yoshinori Muto scored a goal, but it was annulled because the ball hit him in the hand after a good pass from the left wing of Bryan Gil, who minutes later repeated a great low cross that walked through the area without having a finisher. Later, Sergio Álvarez threw out, showing that one of Eibar's problems is his lack of aim, which has prevented him from winning at home. The Ché team reacted with a magnificent center from Maxi Gómez from the right that Manu Vallejo could not finish off when the goal was called. Eibar responded with 2 actions by Edu Expósito, in the first one Kike García finished off but the ball hit Mangala's back, while then goalkeeper Jaume Domenech stopped at a shot from Kike García. Edu Expósito himself shot out with 2 shots (on the second occasion he wasted a good counterattack started by Muto), they again showed that it was difficult for the Catalans to hit between the 3 sticks. Wass did find that way on a free-kick, although Dmitrovic caught.

Valencia had started badly in many games, in which they received goals in the first half hour, or in the first half. But he reached the break in Ipurua with the initial draw, so the team trained by Javi Gracia had overcome his usual bad start without suffering damage, since Eibar had 'forgiven' the visitors.

The second half started the same as the first, with an Eibar that created chances, but with a deviated aim, to shots from Esteban Burgos and Inui. Who could score was the white Serbian Uros Racic with a spectacular volley shot on the edge of the area, to which his compatriot Barça, goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic responded with a stop, the ball hit the wood and went out. TMaxi Gómez could also put in, who received a ball at the far post after a very good cross from Racic and, the Uruguayan, only before the goalkeeper, without opposition – there were no defenders -, instead of shooting, he crossed badly and gave the opportunity to behind to abort the clear occasion. In a corner, Kike García headed out again, in line with his teammates. Minutes later, the Cuenca player again shot deflected from the front. But Eibar kept trying, Edu Expósito entered from the left and finished off (from Bryan Gil), but Domenech cleared. On a free-kick (Valencia is the second team scoring the most goals from set pieces from set pieces), Mangala headed wide, although the play would have been canceled for offside if it had ended in a goal. Eibar cuddled at the end. Jaume Domenech avoided a goal from Eibar in a distant foul, from the side, thrown by Bryan Gil, who was poisoning himself, but the goalkeeper reached in 'in extremis', and the ball hit the post. Sergi Enrich, who had just jumped onto the pitch, was also able to move the marker, but again Domenech responded with a save with his foot, worthy of a handball goalkeeper. On the corner kick, Sergi Enrich headed at the near post, but the ball hit the post (bad luck haunts the Menorcan striker, who has not scored for almost a year). Kevin Gameiro could score 0-1 in the discount, but Dmitrovic prevented it, so the French attacker also still cannot end his scoring drought.
