![]() | Elche with first victory in La Liga after 16 rounds of `drought`21-02-2021 |
After 16 consecutive unsuccessful matches for the championship, the newcomer Elche won a vital victory in La Liga - 1:0 over the direct competitor to save Eibar. Thus, the hosts caught up with the opponent in the standings, with both teams on both sides of the relegation line. Dani Calvo scored in the 33rd minute with the only shot of Elche in the goal line in the first half. This match was the first for the new-old coach of the hosts Fran Escriba, who a few days ago replaced Jorge Almiron.
Eibar was the better team and created many more situations, but once again showed that he can not realize. Especially in the last minutes, the Basques created several clean passes. Elche has only four wins in the elite this season, but two of them are against the opponent in question, which in the end can weigh. In the next round, however, the team expects to visit Barcelona. Eibar is the third weakest attack in La Liga and has not won in the seventh consecutive round.
