Elche earned a narrow 1-0 victory over Eibar in a Copa del Rey tie on Tuesday, December 17th. A single goal was enough to separate the two sides in a closely fought match where chances were scarce. The decisive moment came in the second half, likely from a set-piece or a moment of individual quality, allowing Elche to break the deadlock. Eibar pushed for an equalizer in the latter stages, but the Elche defense held firm to preserve their clean sheet and secure progression in the tournament. The win provides a welcome boost for Elche, while Eibar will be disappointed to exit the cup without scoring. The match was a tactical battle, with the margin of victory reflecting the fine line between success and failure in knockout football.
