Sevilla fight back to draw at Eibar

Sevilla fight back to draw at Eibar

Sevilla equalised in the second half to earn a 1-1 draw away to Eibar in La Liga.

Eibar went ahead within the first 15 minutes through forward Borja Baston, connecting with Saul Berjon's deep cross at the penalty spot and his strong header nestled inside the bottom corner.

Borja and Berjon continued to torment Sevilla in the opening quarter of an hour, with the latter giving the ball to the former on two separate occasions but the 23-year-old could not double the host's lead.

Sevilla managed a chance just before half time as Jose Antonio Reyes found space for a shot but the Spaniard's effort was easily saved by Asier Riesgo in the Eibar goal.

The visitors drew level in the second half after 71 minutes as Kevin Gameiro met a Vincente Iborra cross from a yard away to easily tap in to an open goal.

Gameiro and Yevhen Konoplyanka came close with a few efforts late on as Sevilla began to push but Eibar were able to keep them at bay.

Substitute Sergi Enrich came close for the home side in added time but both teams will have to take a share of the points.
