Córdoba CF achieved nothing in their match against Eibar. Although it aims to say goodbye to 2025 to El Arcángel with a good taste in the mouthambition clashes with reality. Few things can be highlighted … a first half where the green and white team was faultless dominator of possessionHowever, the lack of ideas in the final meters did not allow good intentions to come to fruition. The local domination with the ball was maintained in the last forty-five minutes, a role which did not cause any real danger in a match that lacks football. The initial tie could not be broken and the Cordoba players were left with a loud whistle from his fans.
Iván Ania continued the eleven presented the last day against Leganés and presented only one novelty. Dalisson replaced Pedro Ortiz Despite this, in the starting lineup, Jacobo remained on the left wing. Therefore, Spanish-Brazilian began as an interior.
The meeting started with a big alternation of goodsbut both teams remained cautious in attack. Although in the first minutes no clear protagonist could be highlighted, it is true that the Cordoba team was a little more focused on defensive tasks in the face of Eibar’s erratic arrivals.
As usual in recent matches, the green and white team took control of the ball after the first quarter of an hour, although the only notable occasion was a Free kick from Jacobo which pushed back the armored barrier. The Eibar team did not weaken either with several arrivals from Guruzeta and Buta, but the Córdoba defense was attentive.
With a Córdoba team more focused on the rival area, Fuentes was inches away from connecting a Jacobo cross into the heart of the area. They followed insisting on the students of Iván Aniabut they showed great imprecision in the last meters. The threat to Magunagoitia’s goal was becoming more and more real, however, the green and white match experienced a big traffic jam and the first half ended in an initial tie.
Without green and white ideas
Since Xavi Sintes saw yellow in the first forty-five minutes, Iván Ania covered his back and brought Alex Martín. With this substitution, the second half began. Cordoba came out well planted and avoided getting carried away by nervousness. The Archangel never stopped encouraging his people and Carracedo almost broke the tie. Given the passivity of Eibar’s defense, the green and white winger fired a superb left-footed shot from the front of the area, but the ball did not go far enough and crashed into the crossbar.
Half an hour from the end of the match, the green and white coach called on Kevin Medina in place of Isma Ruiz. This made Jacob and Dalisson They had an interior profile. Despite this, this tactical adjustment did not resolve the lack of verticality in the rival area. Eibar were just spectators of Córdoba’s ball circulation and fought to keep the point. Given the lack of progress, Ania continued to move the tree with a quarter of an hour remaining.
With a triple changethe Oviedo coach brought in Sergi Guardiola, Alcedo and Alberto del Moral. Therefore, Rubén Alves – with discomfort -, Jacobo and Albarrán left the field. The Cordoba team saw some light with these additions. Requena attempted a long shot which was poisoned, but which ended up going off the crossbar.
This did nothing, even for Cordoba, still imprisoned by its imprecision. Ball control did not lead to dangerand only long shots like Alcedo’s were the only highlight of a match that was very thick by both sets. There was no final miracle and the green and white team bid farewell to 2025 at El Arcángel with a draw that left more doubts than certainties.
