JAVEA
VICTORY LIFTS THE SPIRITS Match Report by Mike Smith CD Javea secured maximum points to lift themselves into the top half of the table for the first time since October. Two very fine first-half goals from David Ivars and Valentín put the rojiblancos in full control against a Thader side which was made to look very ordinary indeed. The visitors snatched a consolation early in the second-half but an excellent team performance saw Javea claim a second successive win at home. CD Thader arrived at the Campo d'Esports boasting impressive form that had seen them defeat promotion-chasing UD Benissa the previous weekend. Javea had collapsed at Albatera, familiar fare for the rojiblancos this season, so much of the pre-match hopes were far from encouraging. However Javea began the game in solid, almost unfamiliar style and stormed into an early lead with a very fine goal from David Ivars, marking his return from injury perfectly. Some great play from Youssoupha and Pablo in the centre of the park allowed David Ivars to charge forward, shake off the attentions of Thader's Valentín and slide the ball almost effortlessly beyond the reach of keeper Toni from the edge of the area and into the net to put Javea into what many would have considered an unlikely and quite possibly short-lived lead. But Javea continued to make Thader look very ordinary indeed and far from the promotion hopefuls that their recent form had suggested. They swept forward and should have extended their lead on the quarter-hour mark when Pablo sent in wicked free-kick from the far left-hand side of the area which whizzed low across the face of the goal but its speed deceived everyone and it bounced unhindered out of play on the far side. Pablo was making life very difficult for the Thader defence and should have done better a few minutes later when his difficult jinking against very hesistent tackling might have opened up an opportunity but he chose one jink too many and was halted by the giant frame of Ángel. The lead was extended on 26 minutes with another fine goal. More great work from Pablo saw the ball lifted high into the area and Valentín leapt ridiculously high above two defenders to nod the ball beyond the advancing keeper and into the net to make it 2-0. It was deserved reward for the domination of the rojiblancos on their supposedly more illustrious oppoinents. The second-half began with a stern warning against complacency when Thader pulled one back within minutes through Héctor, although it looked suspiciously like an own goal from the unfortunate Julio Ivorra after some hesistency on the edge of the area produced a clash of bodies and the ball flew low and fast beyond a static Ortolà. Ivorra lay prostrate on the ground for several seconds and vague signals from referee Sergio Alberola initially looked as if he had awarded a free-kick against Thader which lifted the hopes of the fans. However the continued celebrations of the opposition confirmed the goal and Javea now had to dig deep to prevent the game from running away from them. Thader pulled all sorts of tricks out of the bag to frustrate the rojiblancos, rolling 'painfully' across the surface of the pitch at every opportunity in search of an advantage. Javea refused to play into the hands of such simulation but would become even more frustrated by the ineptitude of the referee who seemed blind to the obvious. Cautions became regular with the official at one point apparently booking most of the visiting bench for some choice words that his amazing radar ears picked up from the middle of the pitch. Javea's goalkeeping coach Pedro suffered an even worse fate when he was dismissed from the bench after those ears picked up more remarks. The official's performance was positively bizarre at times and midway through the second period, he awarded a free-kick inside the area for an offence that only he had seen. Unfortunately David Ivar's effort to blast the ball through an eight-man wall and into the back of the net failed miserably when his embarrassing shot flew unhindered across the area and out for a throw on the far side. On 76 minutes Javea won a free-kick on the left after a clash of bodies but, before the kick could be taken, the referee produced a second caution for Javea's Duque and the young midfielder trudged from the pitch. Thader gained a crucial advantage but couldn't find their way through a determined defensive line which stretched across the home side, the popular Youssoupha particularly deserving the post-match plaudits for his tenacity in the centre of the park. With Javea mounting a last ditch effort to extend their lead, the referee brought the game to a close. It was a sterling performance from the rojiblancos and they fully deserved the applause as they stood together in the centre circle to return the respect to the fans. A second successive victory at home lifts the side into the top-half of the table but Javea need to continue the effort with a difficult trip to Pinoso next weekend. CD
