ASPE
PULL LADDER FROM UNDER JAVEA Report
by Terry Bradshaw
Another stuttering performance by the Rojoblancos gifted a
point to the visitors, slowing the climb for a play off spot. To be fair Aspe were more resolute in work rate and ball
winning, undermining Javea's free flow playing style.
The first half play was locked in midfield neither side
progessing much goalwards. Star wingman and skipper David Ivars was the first to go close with a
rasping strike that grazed the upright, followed by a Cissoko classic overhead
effort that deserved better. However Javea went a goal down on the stroke of half time
when Aspe,s striker Carlos glanced an inswinging corner past the fingertips of
Ortola for a fine finish.
A justified inquest by coach Jose Luis saw a much
inspired team set the standard for the second half. The rojiblancos forced a
succession of of free kicks but the delivery constantly found the temple of
Aspe's centre back Yane. It was Ruben Serrio who finally broke the mould with
an inch perfect cross that found Pablo Irigoyen at the near post to level the
score.
As is often the case Javea were still celerbrating when a
rare attack by Aspe's wing forward Cesar saw him outleap Lyn Davies by at least
a metre to steal a penalty which David fiercely despatched. But showing great character Javea quickly resumed the pressure
on Aspe and within minutes the Rojoblancos were awarded a penalty resulting in
David Ivars sending Aspe's Pedro the wrong way for the equaliser.
The visitors were now defending for their lives and a
succession of bookings by Senor Martinez Garcia, followed with Aspe,s coach
being sent to the stands. With the play constantly interrupted Javea could not
regain the initiative and the game petered out to a 2 - 2 draw, a first
point away from hoem for UD Aspe this season.
Once again Jose Luis finds himself with key players missing
so early in the season. This coupled with the shock departure of crowd
favourite Javi to the Bundesliga. The club can only wish him well and every
success in this career development.
