Eibar took a point from La Romareda with two men down

Eibar managed to get a point of great merit from La Romareda, because he played with one less from the 40th minute and with two from the 77th, against a Royal Saragossa which is still not found this season and continues without maintaining a solid line of performance, even with clear excellence.

In the Aragonese team, which came from a painful and fair defeat, albeit short, in the Anduva match Mirandese who at the time was a bottom player, was unable to react and dropped a point from a stadium in La Romareda that long ago ceased to be a fortress and which once again puts the ‘blanquillos’ on the brink of relegation.

For the gunsmith team, the tie was golden considering their clear outnumbered situation for many minutes and also allowed them to continue fighting for second place, which was two points away while the leading is four.

The Zaragoza team showed bad again which seems to have become endemic in recent times, his inability to win in his stadium, where after twelve possible points he was able to add only five and even with a large advantage he did not enjoy the clear opportunities because he was almost absent for the entire match.

The start of the game led to greater control of the ball by the visiting team but did not create danger, similar to the owners of the field. The game was very tactical with both teams more concerned about not messing up than finding the opposing areas with conviction, although from the 20th minute the hand team pushed forward and, more for push than good gamewas able to tread the area and give a greater sense of danger, although there was still no clear chance.

The match started to get complicated for Eibar because of Berrocal’s injury in the 25th minute and the situation worsened when he was substituted in the 40th minute, Frederico Venancio, sent off with a straight red After checking the referee at the request of VAR, a slap from the Portuguese on Valentín Vada.

The technician of the armory group, Gaizka Garitanoreorganized the team to continue playing with three central defenders after making two changes and defended with order against a ‘blanquillo’ team that opened the game on the wings but with very little precision in combinations and especially in centers, which prevented the enjoying scoring opportunities throughout the second half.

Sergio Bermejo scored in the 63rd minute but the goal was disallowed after the referee consulted VAR by an earlier slap by the player from Zaragoza to his defender. The local incompetence allowed the Eibar team to endure without problems and drawing on experience and as well as stupidity, they managed to salvage a point that looked like a winner despite keeping nine in the 77th minute through firing Javi Munoz.
