Eibar leaves El Madrigal with a precious draw

Sergi Enrich’s cleverness
The striker is undergoing a sweet moment. After his scoring debut in this category with two goals against Getafe CF, Enrich found another goal against Villarreal CF. The striker took advantage of a good cross by Borja Baston to then, with an acrobatic move, send the ball to the back of the net. The connection between the two strikers yielded results again and certified the excellent understanding between them.

Areola
The French goalkeeper showed once again the quality he has in him. Jaume Costa knocked Baston over inside the box and the home keeper, from pure intuition, saved the penalty taken by Dani Garcia. Furthermore, his saves were key for Eibar not to extend their distance after having many approaches.

Open match
After Sergi Enrich’s goal the match went side to side. Both the Basque team and the team for Castellon approached their rival’s box with danger. They were counter attacking each other and both of them could have benefited from this.

Injuries
Without any doubt, this was the main encumbrance for Marcelino Garcia Toral’s men. While in the first half it was Bailly who had to leave the pitch due to a blow on the head, in the second half there would be two more injured players. Bakambu had to be subbed with pain in his thigh and Bonera, who had come in for Bailly, left his team down to 10.

Red card and reaction
In the final minutes of the match, Keko was sent off after seeing two yellow cards and Villarreal took their chances. They played with three defenders and fully attacked looking for a draw that came from Jaume Costa, who using the tip of his foot, equalized the clash and put the final 1-1 on the score.
