CD JAVEA 0-2 ATZENETA UE
CD Javea played well but not well enough to cope with league leaders Atzeneta UE who showed just why they are six points ahead at the top of the table. It was a lively game and Jávea certainly didn't capitulate in the face of a far superior side. Indeed, after having survived an early scare when the visitors hit the post, Lucas Bou almost took the lead when he was put clear but his effort was well blocked by the keeper. But it wasn't long before Atzeneta took the lead when a defensive mix-up allowed Manuel Gasent to smash home confidently from 12 yards to put the visitors in front ...
