They defeated Granada in their last home game in La Liga and the win ended their eight-match winless run at their home ground, Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa.
Kike Garcia, the Eibar captain, says he is determined to ensure that the team retains its status in La Liga as a reward for their fans, who are supporting them from home.
“The seasons can pass, but there is no other goal for everyone than to continue in the First Division," Garcia said.
"It is an award for the fans, for us and for the city and we are going to fight to the end to achieve it.
"We are adapting, but hopefully this will end as soon as possible. We are looking forward to them coming to Ipurua again."
