UD Ibiza wins in Anoeta with a golden goal from Miki Villar

The Galician unlocked the game in the 86th minute to deliver justice and give the three points to an UD Ibiza that was superior to Real B

UD Ibiza has put the icing on the cake of an intense week with a difinitive victory in Anoeta against Real Sociedad B (0-1), in a match decided by Miki Villar in the final moments to give the three points to the sky-blue team, who were generally superior to their opponents. The young Galician winger broke the deadlock that seemed headed for a draw due to the lack of effectiveness from the Ibizan side, who close the week with seven of the nine points played and in the top half of the table.

Javi Lara had the first chance of the game after 7 minutes, but the Cordovan’s shot bounced off a defender and into the hands of Ayesa. The Celestes came out dominating Anoeta and soon began to administer the ball against a reserved opponent but who were rapid on the counterattack. Xabi Alonso’s men worked under pressure and were not intimidated by the combinative rhythm of the UD Ibiza team. In this way, the clash became bogged down in midfield and offence faded. It was not until after the 20 minute mark when the second chance was recorded, a shot from Ekain from inside the box from the edge of the area that did not find the desired target.

In between, the Txiuriurdin side had generated a handful of quick counter-attacks and in one of them Germán intervened by diving to the ground to block a dangerous cross from the right-hand side. At the half-hour mark, Karrikaburu tried his luck with a right-footed shot that went just wide. After several skirmishes in the pouring rain at the Reale Arena, Real B had the best chance so far in the 36th minute of play, with Karrikaburu making a great move to pivot on Rubén and put together a tight shot that Germán kept out with a good save.

Shortly after, the Ibizan side had a chance with a long ball into space that reached Sergio Castel, but instead of setting up Ekain, who arrived alone in the middle, he attempted a powerful shot that went into the side of the net. The final chance fell to the San Sebastian reserve team, from a tight corner that hit the post and went wide after rebounding off Castel a meter from the goal line.
