Tenerife hit Eibar on the counter to win 3-1 on opening day
Tenerife opened their Segunda División campaign with a 3-1 win away to Eibar at Estadio Municipal de Ipurua, despite being second-best for large spells on the ball. Enric Gallego put the visitors ahead after seven minutes, finishing off an assist from Nacho Gil to settle the early nerves for Alvaro Cervera's side.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Eibar responded well, with Jon Bautista levelling in the 35th minute after being teed up by Jon Magunazelaia, and Ipurua briefly sensed a foothold in the contest. But Tenerife struck again right before the interval, Jesús Álvarez restoring the lead in the 44th minute to send the sides in at 1-2.
The second half brought no way back for the home side. Iván Chapela added a third for Tenerife in the 74th minute, converting a chance created by A. Krdzalic, and the scoreline held from there. Eibar dominated territory with 66 percent of the ball and 16 shots to Tenerife's seven, but could not turn that control into more than one goal.
Jesús Álvarez scored the decisive second goal for Tenerife just before half-time and finished the match with a rating of 7.6, marginally the highest of the afternoon.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Eibar 50%, the draw 31%, Tenerife 19%. It finished Eibar 1–3 Tenerife.
Eibar's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Eibar are the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Eibar's 50%. The draw at 31% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Eibar at 50%?
Eibar sit 148 points higher on our strength rating — 1649 to 1501. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.1% of 12,702 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 61–27–12.
Why only 50%?
Tenerife hold 8 more possession points (54 to 46 in recent games) across a 148-point rating gap. Control now carries a receipt beyond near-equals too: sides with this control edge at a 75–150-point rating gap won 42.6% of 8,592 such games where the class table expected 41.3%. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Eibar's column. Across 10,596 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.1 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Tenerife win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.2 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.2% of 18,086. The goals environment adds 3.2 points to the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Eibar scored +0.31 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,768 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 42.0% vs 42.9% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Tenerife are newly promoted — game 1 of their first ten at this level, where our rating knows them least. Promoted sides ran below their rating in nine of the last ten seasons — 26.5% wins in their first ten games where the rating expected 30.0% (2,793 games since 2012), fading but still visible through game nineteen. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
