Real Union and Eibar played out a 1-1 draw in a Club Friendlies match on 8 August 2026. A. Martin opened the scoring for the hosts in the twenty-fifth minute before A. Ares brought the visitors level eight minutes later. The match finished with no further goals despite both sides creating opportunities.
To be fair, the opening exchanges showed promise from both teams. Real Union took the lead through Martin, who found space to finish cleanly. Eibar responded well, with Ares quickly equalising to keep things level. Neither side dominated possession, each recording half the ball.
The second half saw both managers turn to their benches for fresh legs. B. Gaubeka came on for Real Union in the forty-sixth minute, while Sangalli joined the visitors shortly after. By then, the game had settled into a pattern where neither team could find a decisive edge. Substitutions followed at regular intervals, with Bernat, Nunez, Galarza, Pejino and Marton all making appearances.
And here's the thing about these friendlies — they rarely produce the drama of competitive fixtures. Both sides had their chances but couldn't convert them. Real Union registered 74 attacks against Eibar's 86, yet neither could turn pressure into goals. The statistics don't tell the full story of a match decided by moments rather than sustained pressure.
The result means both teams move forward with mixed feelings. Real Union's recent form includes victories over Puy and Náhara, while Eibar have shown they can compete against stronger opposition. The draw leaves both sides with something to work on before the competitive season begins.
