Lucas Prez remained on the bench and that, considering that it appears on the radar of Barcelona as a possible relief from the injured Dembl, raise certain suspicions. They all dissipated when Garitano I decided to give him entrance after the break. And he, looking forward to his unexpected substitution, claimed in 15 seconds how huge a scorer he is. That was the time it took to mark and unclog an ugly game that the Alavs ended up winning, putting more distance with the descent and leaving Eibar, once again, with the feeling that he finds no way to combat its irregularity and take off end. (Narration and statistics: 2-1)

Both coaches opted to vary their traditional drawing thinking more about deactivating their rival than optimizing their offensive proposal. Manu Garca, Fejsa and Camarasa on the one hand and Diop, Cristforo and Expsito on the other they overpopulated the central plot of the Mendizorroza grass, an area that, paradoxically, was anecdotal during a good part of the meeting. There was not exactly a football of many carats to open the day. Quite the contrary.

During the first half, it was Eibar who assumed the initiative and control of the ball before a more passive Alavs. It was the possession of the ball, but barely managed the team Balance generate danger With Orellana lying on a band, no soccer player appeared between the lines to give that last pass. Just an arrival of the Chilean who ended up in crner and a bad shot deflected from Pedro Len from the front they computed the credit of Eibar.

The Alavs, with a much more counterattack, relied on the speed of Aleix Vidal and especially of Burke to have some goal alternative. The reality is that I did not find it until the minute before the break, when Dmitrovic I took a hard whip down Ximo Navarro. That last occasion did not lead to self-deception to Asier Garitano, aware that his team had not made a first part, so after the pause, withdraw Fejsa, a defensive midfielder, to enter Lucas Prez accompanying Joselu at the point of attack.

To kickback

What the technician did not expect was that the change would be effective in 15 seconds. And with Eibar taking off center! I started the set of gunsmith with a long ball, the Alavs cleared it to the braves, I made a serious mistake Burgos, Joselu took advantage of it to deepen his career and in the second suit Lucas Prez appeared without opposition to mark what is surely the fastest goal of his life.

He both fired Alavs and sowed doubts at Eibar. Suddenly, the babazorro set became a counterattack machine for which his rival found no brake. Dmitrovic saved with a teacher a Burke right and a header from Magalln five minutes later, avoiding the sudden win. Nothing could do, however, to prevent the second goal past game time. Eibar's new defensive error, Aleix Vidal centr sato, Joselu let her pass with a lot of class and Burke rifle with ease the Serbian goalkeeper.

The Alavs left the meeting practically sentenced, although they made the mistake of locking themselves in excess in the final minutes, practically renouncing the attack in the face of the growing thrust of Eibar. And although it was not the day of the gunsmiths, they managed to at least cut distances with a shot from Orellana, long their best footballer this season, from the front to seven minutes from the end. He did not know how to go beyond the Mendilibar group, which went away from a happy Mendizorroza.
