Celta Fortuna 0-4 SD Eibar result, stats and report

Right then. Let's not dress this up. Celta Fortuna were beaten four goals to nil by SD Eibar in La Liga 2 on Monday evening, and the scoreline was not flattering to anyone. It was a demolition. Four goals, all before the 43rd minute, all off the back of Celta Fortuna's complete failure to compete at the basic level required. That is what happened. End of.

The First Half Was Over Before It Started

The thing is, Eibar came here to work and Celta Fortuna were not ready for it. Jon Magunazelaia opened the scoring with a right-foot shot in the ninth minute, assisted by Adu Ares. Four minutes later, Adu Ares turned scorer himself, finishing with his left foot, assisted by Sergio Cubero. Two goals in thirteen minutes. The home side were already in serious trouble.

Jon Guruzeta made it three in the 20th minute. Right-foot shot. Clinical. Composure. No hesitation. Then, before the first half had even reached its conclusion, Guruzeta added a fourth in the 43rd minute. Same method. Right-foot shot. The man was allowed to shoot twice in the first half and scored twice. That is not Guruzeta's problem. That is Celta Fortuna's problem. A very big one.

Listen, when you concede four goals in the first half of a home league match, something has gone badly wrong in your preparation and your attitude. Celta Fortuna had no answer. They had no plan. And by the time Celta Fortuna's bench forced a substitution in the 32nd minute, bringing on Hugo Cuenca for Alexis Olmedo, the game was already gone. You do not come back from that level of disorganisation. Not at this level. Not against a side playing with that kind of desire.

Eibar Dominated Every Metric That Matters

SD Eibar controlled the match from start to finish. Sixty-seven percent possession. Six hundred and fifty-six passes compared to Celta Fortuna's three hundred and twenty-four. An eighty-nine percent pass completion rate. Twenty key passes. Seventy-seven dangerous attacks to Celta Fortuna's twenty. These are not close numbers. These are the numbers of a team that came here knowing exactly what they wanted to do and doing it without fuss.

Eibar had seventeen goal attempts and put nine shots on target. Celta Fortuna's goalkeeper made nine saves. Nine. The goalkeeper kept the scoreline from being even more embarrassing. Celta Fortuna themselves managed seven shots on target from twelve total attempts, but they scored nothing. The home side had the ball just thirty-three percent of the time and spent most of the evening chasing shadows.

The thing is, Celta Fortuna made sixty-three long passes. That tells you everything. When a team is launching the ball long from the back that many times in a home match, they have been pressed into submission. They had no way to play through Eibar. No structure. No composure. Just survival instinct, and not much of that either.

Discipline Collapsed Alongside the Scoreline

Here is where it gets worse. As the game deteriorated, so did Celta Fortuna's discipline. The home side collected four yellow cards over the course of the match. Germain Milla went in the first half for a foul and was subsequently substituted at half-time, replaced by Pablo Gavián. Fredi Álvarez picked up a booking for an argument in first-half stoppage time. In the second half, Adrià Capdevila was carded for a foul in the 52nd minute, and then came another yellow for a foul in the 64th minute. Twenty tackles from Celta Fortuna, thirteen fouls. That is a team that could not stop Eibar properly and was resorting to grabbing and kicking to slow them down.

Eibar were not immune either. Adu Ares collected a yellow card in the 16th minute, just three minutes after scoring, for a foul. Sergio Cubero was booked in the 63rd minute. Anaitz Arbilla received a card for an argument in the 82nd minute. But here is the difference: Eibar's indiscipline did not cost them. They had already done the damage. Celta Fortuna's indiscipline was the response of a team that had lost the match and lost the plot.

Celta Fortuna's Form Offered Warning Signs

Celta Fortuna went into this match with four completed La Liga 2 matches behind them, recording two wins, one draw, and one loss. They beat Ceuta two goals to nil in their most recent outing and scored four against FC Andorra in a previous fixture. So the goals were there. The ability existed. Which makes this capitulation even harder to accept. When you beat a side four-two one week and then concede four at home the next, that is not a tactical issue. That is an attitude and standards issue.

SD Eibar, meanwhile, had won three of their last five La Liga 2 matches coming in, including a three-nil victory over Granada just a week before this fixture. Eibar beat FC Andorra one-nil and Real Valladolid one-nil in that stretch too. Clean sheets. Tight. Disciplined. They knew how to win without conceding and they knew how to score when it mattered. Celta Fortuna gave them absolutely no reason to worry.

Guruzeta Leads, Eibar Cruise

Jon Guruzeta was the standout name on the night. Two goals from two shots, both with his right foot, both calm and precise. He was taken off in the 87th minute with the game long decided, replaced by Elijah Gift. It was a professional evening's work. Jon Magunazelaia also deserves credit for the opener and was replaced by Iván Gil in the 59th minute as Eibar managed their squad intelligently.

Adu Ares had a hand in two goals, scoring the second and assisting the first, before being replaced by Álvaro Rodríguez at the start of the second half. Eibar rotated sensibly. They were in complete control and they knew it.

Celta Fortuna have to look at themselves honestly after this. You cannot concede four goals at home and blame the opposition. Eibar were good. But Celta Fortuna were nowhere near the standards required. That is unacceptable at any level. The accountability starts now. It has to.
