CD Javea 0-0 Hercules CF B

Dropped points for Jávea

Another draw means that CD Javea have recorded just one win in the last seven game and the rojiblancos continue to languish some five points adrift of the promotion play-off zone. The side missed the effectiveness of the suspended players Javi and Rubén Serrio as well as the tricky skills of Carlo, still suffering from injury sustained in Pinoso.

it was the away side, the team struggling at the wrong end of the table, that would go closest to scoring just seconds into the game when the unmarked Kike somehow blasted his attempt into the chest of goalkeeper Ortolá from close-range;
CD Javea had the slight edge but Hercules were more than capable of mounting several dangerous counter-attacks and certainly played way beyond the pre-match expectations of the crowd.

The second-half brought more enthusiasm from the boisterous crowd who encouraged the players more than ever to secure maximum points. However attacks were absorbed and then swept out into safety by the determined visiting defence.

Predictably, the game struggled to become a spectacle and, whilst the fans amused themselves noisily in the stands, the players ran out the remainder of the half and a share of the spoils. Four draws in the last seven games have placed Javea amongst this season's draw specialists, but the side needs to start picking up maximum points, starting next Saturday against another struggling side CD Finestrat, kick-off 6.30pm.
