Euskaraz irakurri: Alavesek igoera play-offetako finala jokatuko du, Eibar mendean hartu ostean Mendizorrotzan (2-0)

Alavés beat Eibar 2-0 This Thursday, June 8, second leg of the play-off semifinals for promotion to the First Division and how the first leg ended tied (1-1), the Vitoria-Gasteiz team will play the final against Levante.

The game opened with a goal from Abde Rebbach (1-0) in the first minute after a caracoleo by Luis Rioja, with a changed leg on the right wing, who put the ball on the head of the Albiazul youth squad that left it out of the reach of Luca Zidane.

Eibar took the initiative as soon as they received the goal and went on the attack with everything, while the home team looked for the speed of Senegalese Mamadou Sylla. The gunsmiths tried it against a well-planted defense and with many men behind the ball and although they finished several plays they were unable to adjust the shots on goal. Matheus Pereira, Javi Muñoz and Yanis Rahmani tried with long shots, which did not worry Antonio Sivera, forced to attend to the movement of the ball from an Eibar that had it for a long time during the first half, forced to score two goals to get through the tie , since the tie favored Eibar.

Luis García Plaza’s men did not risk once they found the goal a few seconds after starting a duel that promised equality. After half an hour, Salva Sevilla gave up his place to Toni Moya due to an injury to his right calf. A setback for the local team that did not change its drawing, but the script of the clash did not change either, with an Eibar more protagonist but inefficient.

Despite everything, Gaizka Garitano’s men had the last clear chance in the discount of the first half with a powerful shot from Rober Correa that Antonio Sivera repelled.

In the early stages of the second act, the Alavés goalkeeper was once again essential to avoid the tie to clear a dry shot from Stoichkov after 7 minutes, but the strong hand of the man from Alicante kept the score 1-0. It was the prelude to a phase very similar to the first part. Eibar with drive and very close to the rival goal but without precision and Alavés giving speed to their starts, with a very active Sylla, who received an ovation from Mendizorroza.

The gunsmiths were not fine at all in the last meters. José Corpas was entertained too much and again missed a great opportunity in front of the local goal.

The clash came at a crazy moment, which favored Eibar, who did not stop trying. Meanwhile, in one of the counterattacks, Asier Villalibre gave up a free ball to Abde Rebbach who missed in front of Zidane and failed to put the finishing touches on the Gipuzkoans, who began to leave a lot of space behind their rearguard.

Gaizka Garitano’s men insisted on each of their attacks, but Alavés ended up catching him. Asier Villalibre did not forgive when he found Zidane ahead (2-0) and with a low crossed shot he sentenced the duel two minutes from regulation time.
