Eibar secured its first win of the 2026/27 LaLiga Hypermotion season on Saturday, edging out FC Andorra 0-1 in a tight match. According to MARCA's live coverage, the victory was sealed by a second-half goal from midfielder Aleix Garrido. The Basque club now sits 17th in the Segunda División table, with 3 points from their opening two fixtures.
How did the match against Andorra unfold?
The game, covered live by MARCA, saw the home side dominate possession but struggle to find a way past goalkeeper Jon Magunagoitia. FC Andorra created numerous chances, with efforts from Efe Akman and Sergio Molina, but failed to score. A disallowed goal for Akman after a VAR review kept the scoreline level before halftime. Eibar, meanwhile, weathered the pressure and waited for their opportunity.
The breakthrough came early in the second half. In the 47th minute, Aleix Garrido found the net with a strike from inside the box to make it 0-1, a fact confirmed by ESPN's match data. Jokin Arambarri's side then dropped back and managed the game effectively, holding firm against Andorra's late pressure in added time. Goalkeeper Magunagoitia was a key figure in preserving the three points.
What line-ups did both teams use?
Diario AS published the starting line-ups for both sides. Eibar began with Magunagoitia in goal; a defensive line of Bernat, Arbilla, Elgezabal, and Álvaro Rodríguez; and a midfield featuring Mada, Garrido, Jon Guruzeta, Jon Magunacelaya, and Iván Gil. Javier Martón led the attack. The bench included players like Jon Bautista, Jair Amador, and Lucas Núñez, who were introduced in the second half.
FC Andorra, managed by Carles Manso, lined up with Pau López; Alende, Martí Vila, Thomas Carrique, and Bomba in defence; Marc Domènech, Randy Schneider, and Efe Akman in midfield; and Hugo López, Álex Calvo, and Jordi Cano up front. Manso made several substitutions, including bringing on Julian Rijkhoff and Stefan Golubovic, in a fruitless search for an equalizer.
What is Eibar's current league standing?
With this win, Eibar has 3 points and occupies 17th place in the Segunda División. Their record shows one win and one loss from two matches, having scored two goals and conceded three. This data, current as of August 31st, indicates the team needs to solidify its defensive play. They trail the league leaders, Leganés, by four points in what is a very tight table early in the campaign.
Eibar's next fixture is a significant one. They will host Granada CF, who are eighth in the table, at Ipurua on September 6th. A positive result against a direct rival would be an important step in climbing our standings page.

What other matches does the team have this week?
