Etxeberria lifts Albacete off the bottom with two straight wins
Two wins in a row, 2-0 over Eldense and 2-1 over Sabadell with ten men, lift the side out of last place after twelve matchdays.
Albacete have left the bottom of the table thanks to two consecutive wins under Joseba Etxeberria. A 2-0 win over Eldense at the Carlos Belmonte ended ten matchdays without a victory, and a 2-1 win over Sabadell on Saturday, played with ten men after Corpas was sent off, takes them out of the last place.
According to MARCA, Etxeberria summed it up plainly: with ten men, «there was a need to come together, a need to row». He also left a line that captures his message: «knowing how to compete is this».
With seven points from twelve games, the side still need around 43 more points from 30 matches, almost a point and a half per game, which is exactly the pace they have had under the new coach.
