The Nazarí side continues their good run, definitively moving away from the relegation zone, and remaining unbeaten in this start to 2026 with four wins and a draw. The first chance of the match fell to Patri Ojeda, who tried her luck with a shot from outside the box that went over the bar. The reply came from Laura Pérez, but her shot didn't find the target. Irene Ferreras's side took the initiative, and again, Alba Pérez tried with a header that didn't trouble Eunate Astralaga. The game was evenly balanced, and Opa Clement looked for a goal with a shot from inside the area, but it was Laura Pérez who capitalised on a back pass from Alimata Belem and an error in control from the home goalkeeper, to send the ball into the back of the net and make it 0-1 on the scoreboard.
Just six minutes later, the second goal arrived. Granada CF launched a perfect counter-attack, and Laura Pérez threaded a ball through to Sonya Keefe, who was the MVP of the match. The striker dribbled past Eunate Astralaga to double the lead on the scoreboard. After the break, Iñaki Goikoetxea brought on Carmen Álvarez for Opa Clement to try and create more danger in attack. Indeed, the forward sought a reaction with a backheel shot that went straight into the hands of Chika Hirao, who was back in the starting XI. The visitors appealed for a possible penalty after Laura Pérez went down in the box following a challenge from Alimata Belem, but, after a review by the Football Video Support, the referee ruled that there was no penalty. After half an hour of play, Iara Lacosta came on for the Armero side.
Eibar looked to reduce the deficit on the scoreboard, but they weren't sharp enough in attack. Miku reinforced the midfield for the Granadinistas, who continued to have the match under control. Only Mireia Masegur, with a header from a free-kick delivery, came close to scoring, but her powerful header went over the bar. The last chance of the match fell to Adela Rico. The midfielder tried her luck with a shot from outside the box that was saved by Chika Hirao, who made four saves throughout the game to keep a clean sheet and confirm her team's victory, leaving them in 10th position with 26 points. Meanwhile, Eibar, who have accumulated four consecutive defeats, have 17 points, eight above the relegation zone, pending their direct rivals' matches.
