Málaga head coach turned to his bench after the break, and the changes proved decisive. Adrián was introduced in the 62nd minute and quickly made his mark, equalising in the 65th minute following good work from Chupete to make it 2–2.

The Andalusians then seized control in the closing stages. In the 78th minute, substitute Darko Brašanac found the net, finishing a move created by Joaquín Muñoz to edge Málaga ahead 3–2. Six minutes later, Adrián struck again, this time assisted by Muñoz, to extend the lead to 4–2 and effectively seal the points for the visitors.

The match was competitive throughout, with several yellow cards shown. Eibar’s José Corpas and Lander Olaetxea were booked early, while Málaga saw cautions for Izan Merino, Carlos Dotor and Diego Murillo. Both sides also made multiple substitutions as the game wore on, with Eibar introducing Javi Martínez, Javi Martón, Álvaro Rodríguez, Aleix Garrido and Juan Bernat in search of a response.
