Scored: Dmitrovic pen 12′ – Suarez 40′ & pen 89′

In the 40th minute, Suarez equalized 1-1 with an opportunistic strike from less than seven meters away after a careless header by an Eibar player.

Suarez has 11 goals in 14 matches with Atletico Madrid in La Liga this season.

This double helped Suarez reach the milestone of 500 goals in his career, and have 11 goals in La Liga this season, thereby joining his former teammate Lionel Messi at the top of the top scorers list.

Having been criticized by Barca as out of date and sold out last summer, Suarez is proving that he is still the best star in La Liga today.

At Ipurua Stadium yesterday, Suarez was the biggest difference helping Atletico overcome difficulties and leave with all three points.

Eibar is nearing the relegation race, but played 90 minutes well against the championship candidate.

Goalkeeper Dmitrovic took a penalty kick, opening the score for Eibar.

Not only that, from a quick counterattack, Eibar also earned a penalty in the 12th minute when Muto was fouled from behind by Carrasco.

The loss made Atletico even more struggling.

However, this equalizer and Simeone’s two personnel adjustments after the break did not help Atletico play better.
