TWO
FIRST-HALF GOALS SECURE COMFORTABLE
VICTORY FOR CD JÁVEA
First half goals from Ayoze and
new signing Ramis secured what would turn into a comfortable
victory for CD Jávea to maintain touch with the
promotion play-off zone at the top of the table. The
rojiblancos dominated the game and might have chalked
up an even greater victory but for the woodwork of the
opposition goal.

UD
BENIGANIM 2-1 CD JAVEA - ONLY
SECOND DEFEAT OF THE SEASON
CD Jávea suffered only their
second defeat of the season - and their
first on the road - in controversial circumstances
after an 'equaliser' smashed home by
Lucas Bou was ruled out by the referee on
the strength of a very dubious offside decision.
After a goalless and very competitive first-half,
Beniganim broke the deadlock on 55 minutes
through Kevin before Jávea's Favio equalised
two minutes later. The host restored their
lead on 70 minutes before Lucas Bou thought
he had brought things level again on 77
minutes.

TO BUILD SANCTUARY

refuge and the initial maintenance costs for the cats
