A double by Rubén García Santos, who reaches eight goals so far in the league season, sealed in Ipurua the permanence in First Division of an Osasuna that can even dream of some European positions that, with five days to go, have four left points.
There were two great goals from the left-hander from Xàtiva. The first a precise free-kick from the front, unstoppable for Marko Dmitrovic; and the second a perfect definition against the Serbian goal to end a perfect counter mounted by captain Roberto Torres and continued by Marc Cardona.
If Osasuna, with 44 points, can still dream of Europe after his third victory in a row, Eibar must continue fighting to avoid a drop that is six points after a defeat that has cut a streak of two consecutive victories and four chained matches without to lose.
