MADRID, 24 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Eibar successfully managed (2-0) Villarreal B’s visit to Ipurua with a solid win that lifted them to second place in the table tied on points with the leader Las Palmas, thanks to goals from Rahmani, in the first half, and Aketxe, at the end of the match, in the opening game of matchday 29 of LaLiga SmartBank.
The team led by Gaizka Garitano became strong at home to dominate a clash that they controlled from start to finish thanks to their punch. Although the offside prevented Bautista from putting the hosts ahead after ten minutes, they had to wait half an hour into the game to see the first goal of the night. The French footballer took advantage of a rebound from the front to put his team ahead after taking a corner.
The yellow subsidiary tried to pull itself together after the break with more incisive football, but Luca Zidane prevented any type of scare with a recital under the sticks. In the end, a ball from Arbilla from the central circle from a set piece was taken advantage of by Aketxe to sign the second with a sensational volley to the top of the post, thus sentencing a Villarreal B team that seems settled in the middle of the table.
