Eibar Press Overwhelms Andorra as Cubero and Javi Martínez Seal Home Win

Relentless press at Ipurua turned Andorra's buildup into costly errors.

Overview

  • Eibar forced repeated mistakes with an aggressive high press that set the tone from the opening minutes.
  • Ratti saved Corpas's penalty, but his rebound fell for Cubero to open the scoring shortly after halftime.
  • Javi Martínez added the second with a low strike that slipped under the Andorra goalkeeper about 15 minutes from time.
  • An earlier penalty for a foul on Buta was annulled after the referee determined Xeber Alkain was offside in the buildup.
  • Coach Beñat San José lauded a “fantastic” collective display on Arrate day as Eibar prevailed without the suspended Arbilla, who began a four-match ban.
