The Eibar takes the victory thanks to a goal from Tolosa
The Eibar takes the victory by the minimum thanks to a goal from the forward from Tolosa in a match in which the local team deserved much more. The first half started with the armero team well positioned on the field and so, after five minutes of play, forward Julen Iriarte already had the first opportunity to open the scoring, but the young blue and garnet player failed to beat Miguel Martínez in the one-on-one.
Roijanos had multiple chances, but Eibar comes out on top
As the minutes went by, the Riojans began to have more contact with the ball and started to create chances on the goal defended by Jorge Mediavilla, but neither Titi, who shot wide after the goalkeeper's bad exit, nor Jordan, in a one-on-one with the goalkeeper himself, nor Michel, whose shot was cleared for a corner by the defense at the last minute, could put their team ahead.
Eibar triumphs with a late goal
After the break, the red and whites pushed forward and went all out for the match, creating numerous chances to have a significant advantage on the scoreboard, while perfectly controlling José Luis Mendilibar's men. However, goalkeeper Jorge Mediavilla had a standout performance, becoming one of the main protagonists for the Guipuzcoan team and stopping every ball that came his way.
Arruabrrena secures victory for Eibar
But when everyone thought the match would end in a goalless draw, with five minutes to go, Arruabrrena appeared to snatch a ball inside the box and score the only goal of the match, giving Eibar their first victory of the season.
New signings make their debut for Eibar
The most positive thing for the Zaldibar coach yesterday was being able to see the debut of newly arrived players Iván Ramis and Gonzalo Escalante in the blue and garnet jersey. The Eibar team will have another opportunity tomorrow, starting at 7:00 p.m. at the Agorrosón pitch in Bergara, against Real Unión, to continue gaining competitive rhythm ahead of the still distant start of the league.
Mendilibar: "At times, Logroñés gave us a hard time"
"As a group, we were very close. Today's idea was for the majority of players to play the full 90 minutes and there were moments when Logroñés gave us a hard time.
Regarding the new arrivals, we rushed Ramis' debut due to the shortage of players we have. Even so, he is a player who brings hierarchy and he held on until the 70th minute against a team that was dominating us.
As for Gonzalo, he is the typical Argentine player who knows what he has to do at every moment, handles the game, and fights for every ball."
