SECOND
WIN ON THE TROT FOR JAVEA CD Javea recorded successive wins for the first time since last November in a much-improved home performance against CD Alone. Two goals from leading scorer David Ivars, one from the penalty spot, secured the maximum points required to ease open once again a comfortable gap between themselves and the relegation zone. For the visitors, the defeat combined with wins for struggling clubs Albatera CF and CF Alfaz del Pi has put them in a very precarious position just one space and one point above the drop zone with just nine games remaining. The kick-off was delayed by just a few minutes when the visitors were forced to dump their own kit and borrow an old CD Javea away kit to avoid a clash of colours on the pitch. Speaking to the modest travelling support after the game, it appears that Alone's kit-man had failed to do his research properly, despite the campaign already running towards its conclusion. It seemed to sum up Alone´s predicament this season. Javea started strong with defender Feliu's return to the side after injury marked by a pair of bright yellow boots that might have been an attempt to blind the opposition forward line before they reached the vicinity of the home side's penalty area. Within minutes Javea had taken the lead. Valentín's mazy run into the area was ruthlessly halted by defender Quique, whose scything tackle up-ended the midfielder and the referee had no option but to point at the penalty spot. After the debacle of the last home game, it was leading striker David Ivars who placed the ball on the spot and fired comfortably past the keeper to put the rojiblancos into an early lead. Alone looked a ragged side with keeper Julen looking particularly dodgy in the face of increasing pressure from Pablo and David Ivars. But Javea didn't quite have it all their own way and Alone´s Nino skimmed the crossbar with a fine free-kick from 20 yards that had keeper Ortolá well beaten. However Javea tightened their grip on the game and Alone resorted to a policy of collapsing in mock agony to the ground at every opportunity, rolling several dramatic metres in an attempt to foil the rhythm of the rojiblancos. Whether it's a magic sponge or a magic spray, both have the required qualities of resurrection, somewhat apt during this period of Lent, and the victims leapt back to life to continue the game to a chorus of boos from the home faithful. Javea may have their problems finding consistency on the pitch but we can be somewhat proud that our team doesn't resort to such play-acting. On 34 minutes Javea extended their lead with another fine goal from David Ivars. Picking up the ball in midfield, he charged forward, shrugging off the attention of desperate defenders, before slotting the ball calmly past the advancing keeper to double the advantage and score his 13th goal of the season. Just before the break, the rojiblancos had a golden opportunity to end the contest when Duque was pulled down in frustration by the Alone keeper on the far side of the area. Javea were awarded another penalty and Alone were reduced to ten men, the custodian receiving a straight red. However David Ivars smashed the ball against the legs of substitute keeper Michel and Javea went into half-time with justa two-goal advantage. The second-half brought little respite for Alone as Javea started the second period by launching wave after wave of attack against an increasingly demoralised unit. However Alone picked themselves up on occasions and were capable of mounting a dangerous counter-attack that would see goalkeeper Ortolá pull off a superb double-save on the hour-mark. Coach José Luís decided to strengthen defence and replaced midfielder Duque with defender Vicente and hauling off Julio Ivorra to replace him with striker Oscar, playing in an unfamilar defensive role. Just before the final whistle, Alone managed to bundle the ball home from close range which seemed an inevitable conclusion as the visitor's confidence began to lift. However the effort was ruled out for an offside infringement and Javea were able to play out their second successive win and their second successive clean sheet, only the seventh of the season. CD
