Eibar's win a blow to Valencia's Euro hopes
MADRID • Eibar took full advantage of a fortuitous first-half own goal by Geoffrey Kondogbia to ease their relegation worries, as they beat Valencia 1-0 at home in La Liga on Thursday to deliver a harsh blow to the visitors' hopes of playing European football next season.
Eibar remain one place above the relegation zone with 32 points but are now six clear of Mallorca immediately below them with seven matches remaining.
Valencia stayed in eighth place on 46 points, seven adrift of a Champions League berth - before fourth-placed Sevilla's match against Real Valladolid yesterday - and two points off the Europa League places.
