SD Eibar 0-2 Elche CF
CF Elche, despite struggling at the start of the season, has undergone a remarkable transformation under the guidance of coach Eder Sarabia. The club has now gone five consecutive matches without a loss in LaLiga and one in the Copa del Rey.
After suffering early defeats to Huesca, Albacete, Zaragoza and Ferrol, Elche has found its rhythm. Their recent victory against Eibar, a team previously occupying a playoff spot, catapulted them up the Segunda División table.
Sarabia’s influence is evident in the team’s improved defensive solidity and clinical attacking prowess. Elche’s balanced approach, characterized by tight defence and efficient attack, was on full display in their impressive performance against Eibar at Ipurúa on Sunday.
Statistically, Elche’s resurgence is undeniable. With six wins, four draws, and only three losses in 13 matches, they have solidified their position in the upper echelons of the league. Their recent form, coupled with their passionate fanbase, has reignited hopes of a return to La Primera División.
Sarabia’s ability to extract the best from his players has been crucial to Elche’s success. The club’s ambition to return to the topflight is clear, and with Sarabia at the helm, they are well-positioned to achieve their ambition.
