Eibar closed the penultimate week of preseason with a big win. The men of Jokin Aranbarri had no rival in the friendly match held in Zarautz against Arenas and secured a convincing victory against a rival who gave many facilities. The Armero coach changed the starting lineup completely compared to the last duel in Zubieta, except for Magunagoitia, and also gave minutes to Lucas Núñez, who made his debut with the Eibar jersey.
A minute late, Eibar opened its scoring account. Pejiño made the first goal of the game with a well-placed shot after a good action by Eric. Martón joined the party shortly after a loss by Arenas in the ball exit and the Navarro increased the difference by heading inside the area a cross from the right by Álvaro Rodríguez. It was minute eight and only one team was on the field.
Just before the break, Pejiño equalized with Martón to sign his double with a soft goal after a pass to the space of Núñez that served as a presentation card. Aranbarri refreshed the team with the passage of minutes in the second half and Bautista closed the Armero storm in the final straight after heading a cross from the left by Hugo García. Uncontested victory for an Eibar that maintains the good sensations just two weeks before the start of the league.
