Unai López unleashes his scoring vein in Ipurua

The game that should have been played on Friday in Ipurua turns out that it was still delayed beyond Sunday at noon. He did not get up very early, of course, because Eibar and Athletic spent half an hour well positioned, more concerned with being armed behind than launching offensive fireworks. When everything seemed to be under control, a couple of strategic moves sparked the revolution. Capa had a great chance in an avoidable counter after an error due to lack of force by Kike García and in a subsequent action, Unai López hooked her from the front. Shortly after the start of the second half, the Manchego striker of the gunsmith team tied for a header in a corner. Unai signed a double to sentence. In a closed pulse, the Biscayan victory was the most fair, due to the accumulated merits.

The derby was not passionate in its dawn. Two teams more attentive to protecting the herd than going out into the mountains. Athletic was more dispersed in the midfield, going from area to area, and that is why they left corridors that Yuri took advantage of, among others, in the 18th minute. Kike García had two actions, which by not attacking the ball well, he failed. Meanwhile, Williams looked for the back to the Barcelona rear with his supersonic speed. The gunsmiths turned to the left and the game was encouraged. Inui even touched a head ball, something almost for posterity.

Mendilibar was desperate because his pilots were not in command of the ship. When the rival filtered the first pass and mocked the starting line, they were already in trouble. Exposito hardly came into play and the proof is that within half an hour he had 5 good passes out of nine billed and Unai López, his rojiblanco enemy, 9 out of 18.

Both began to go higher and the thing was balanced. In one of these, Capa cut and threw a shoe that forced Dmitrovic to show off. In one of these, Morcillo played as a side, waited for the precise moment for the pass and Williams in a gesture of “give it to me now” ran for an assignment behind Unai López, who after stopping her and raising her head, even had time to read a novel and place it next to the pole. The position and Iñaki was reviewed, very fair, and was approved by the VAR.

Eibar exploits strategy like nobody else. A corner allowed Kike to remove his thorn. He exposed Núñez, slow on the mark, and Unai Simón, who is not in his best moment, nor did he throw himself to the ground. The striker from La Mancha is until now Mendilibar's life insurance in the face of goal. New derby from there. Garitano put Villalibre and formed with two references above, as he joined Williams on the offensive, with Muniain and Raúl García on the wings. The clash was once again from Bilbao, with a portentous pass from Raúl to Villalibre on the right flank and a crack assist from this to Williams in the center. He dialed this and rubbed his eyes, as it has been dry since March. But he was watched by the VAR and was canceled for offside. The lace came again with Unai López. Sancet changed orientation towards Capa, who found a definitive pass among many people. Kevin was examined for possible lack of Raúl García when he tried to seal him, but it was very slight. The Japanese Muto finally had the opportunity to debut in LaLiga, but his departure did not serve to alter anything.
