Euskaraz irakurri: Alaves eta Eibar, hil edo biziko lehiaren aurrean

Alavés and Eibar will measure their forces this Thursday in the second leg of the semifinals of the play-offs for promotion to LaLiga Santander, in Mendizorroza, at 9:00 p.m. Armeros and babazorros signed a draw in the first leg, in Ipurua, and, therefore, Thursday’s game will be a final for the two Basque teams.

This confrontation has a novelty: if there was no winner after regulation time and a supposed extension, there would be no penaltiesand in this case, the Alavés would be the one who would advance in the play-offs after being above the LaLiga SmartBank table (Alavés was third, while Eibar was fourth).

In the first leg, the team led by Luis García Plaza started stronger. In minute 9, Sylla opened the can, after a shot inside the area. Even so, the gunsmiths responded, and, in the extension of the first half, Stoichkov signed the tie, thanks to an acrobatic shot.

In addition, in the 72nd minute, when Eibar was playing its best minutes, the referee showed Arbilla the second yellow, for a hard tackle on Asier Villalibre. For this reason, Gaizka Garitano will not be able to count on the armorer captain for the second leg of the promotion play-off seminals.

On the other hand, this Wednesday, in the other play-off tie, Levante and Albacete will fight for a ticket to the promotion final, in which the Alicante team has the tie well under way, after having won at Carlos Belmonte, in the first leg, by 1-3.

EITB will offer, after the game, a special space program “Txikia area”in which he will echo all the details left by this decisive duel between Alavés and Eibar; It will be issued by eitb.eus and by ETB1.
