Eibar ended the first half of the season in eighth spot, the highest position ever achieved by a team playing in the first division for the first time, after drawing 1-1 at Córdoba on Friday evening. They were up against it though from very early on, Fede Cartabia winning the ball off Dani García straight from the kick-off and setting up Andone Florin for the opener with only ten seconds on the clock. Cartabia tested Irureta again later in the first half, but otherwise there were few chances, and both sides were left a man short after the restart, Campabadal getting himself sent off for a second yellow card and Piovaccari following him down the tunnel after sliding into Florin just a minute or so later. The visitors had hardly troubled Juan Carlos in the local goal all night, but with just over an hour gone substitute Arruabarrena got on the end of a Saúl Berjón cross to head in the equalizer. Cartabia fired a shot over and Irureta had to save from Crespo after that, but in the end both coaches settled for a point which keeps them in or around mid-table. Not bad for either though, a year or so ago even the thought of these two teams meeting in the first division would have been a dream.
