Eibar cruise past Ceuta with 3–0 home win in Segunda División

SD Eibar strengthened their position in the Segunda División with a convincing 3–0 home victory over AD Ceuta FC on matchday 34, decided by an early penalty, an own goal and a composed second-half finish.

The hosts struck first after just 12 minutes. Javi Martón converted from the spot to give Eibar a 1–0 lead, moments after Ceuta defender Pedro López had been booked in the 11th minute, setting the tone for a difficult afternoon for the visitors.

Ceuta’s efforts to respond after the break were undone by misfortune. In the 52nd minute, Carlos Hernández turned the ball into his own net, doubling Eibar’s advantage to 2–0 and leaving the away side with a mountain to climb.

Eibar coach Garitano (not officially listed in the data) reshuffled his team around the hour mark, introducing Javi Martínez and Aleix Garrido for Sergio Álvarez and Martón in the 62nd minute. The move paid off quickly. On 70 minutes, Jon Bautista finished a flowing move, assisted by Javi Martínez, to make it 3–0 and effectively seal the points.

Ceuta turned to their bench in search of a response, bringing on Konrad de la Fuente and Kuki Zalazar on 62 minutes and later Aboubacar Bassinga, Yann Bodiger and Arick Betancourt. However, Eibar managed the game professionally, despite yellow cards for Malcom Ares (43’) and Sergio Álvarez (55’), while Youness was booked for Ceuta in the 69th minute.

Late substitutions saw Eibar introduce Jon Magunazelaia, Jon Guruzeta and Juan Bernat as the hosts comfortably saw out the contest. Detailed information on lineups, possession and other statistics is not available in the provided data.

The result keeps Eibar firmly in the hunt near the top half of the table, while Ceuta leave the Basque Country empty-handed after a difficult afternoon at Ipurua.
