Eibar's relentless form continues as they moved to the top of LaLiga Hypermotion with a 3-2 victory over UD Las Palmas at Ipurua. Jokin Aranbarri's side secured their sixth consecutive win, a historic run for the club, and now sit second in the table with 18 points, just one behind leaders Castellón.
The match started in spectacular fashion for the hosts, who scored twice inside the first nine minutes. Ander Madariaga Susaeta opened the scoring in the sixth minute from a Malcom Ares assist, and Álvaro Rodríguez made it 2-0 just three minutes later, also set up by Ares. Las Palmas pulled one back through Valentín Pezzolesi in the 24th minute, sending the teams in at halftime with Eibar leading 2-1.
Eibar restored their two-goal cushion in the second half when Javier Martón, assisted by Jon Guruzeta, scored the third in the 62nd minute. The visitors refused to give up, and Jefté Betancor made it 3-2 with five minutes remaining after a cross from Elías. The late introduction of loan winger Elijah Gift proved decisive. His pace and dribbling drew two quick yellow cards from Iñaki González, who was sent off in stoppage time, allowing Eibar to see out the win.
After the final whistle, the celebration featured a light-hearted moment as Gift performed a dance on the penalty spot, drawing laughter from teammates and supporters. The player, who arrived on deadline day, has quickly connected with the Ipurua crowd. This win extends Eibar's winning streak to five games and solidifies their status as a promotion contender.
Next up is a trip to face 22nd-placed Albacete on Friday, 3 October. The Armeros head into the fixture with sky-high confidence, looking to build on their flawless start to the campaign.
