Javea 2 Alone 0 ... Alone travelled to Javea knowing that a win would see them leapfrog their hosts and move them that little bit further away from the relegation places that they sat on top of, in 16th position, prior to this encounter.

Alone haven’t won in the league since November while Javea boosted their confidence last week by convincingly beating Aspe away from home but their recent form is comparable to Alone’s atrocious season so far.

Alone’s problem this season has been too many draws and their lack of firepower up front is highlighted by them having the second worst goals for total in league.

A delayed kick off because of a kit clash meaning alone had to borrow Javea’s change strip only delayed the inevitable as a Penalty, on 7 minutes which after a foul on a Javea forward, which Valentin scored had a familiar feeling for the travelling fans.

Not long after, Juan Marti shot from 20 yards just skimming the crossbar for the home side but the warning signs were there and on 35 minutes Ivars scored the second and crucial goal for Javea. A few minutes later Ivars for Javea pushed it past the Alone ‘keeper, who brought him down resulting in a red card. Michel came on to replace him and his first touch was to save the penalty meaning Alone at least had a chance of getting back into the game.

After the break Javea pressed forward and could a have scored more but as the game wore on it looked as if the two goals would be more than enough. On 88 minutes Javea could have added to their total but Bonmati put it past they post and Alone could have pulled one back in the dying moments but it was ruled offside.

Next week they face fellow strugglers Alfaz who had an impressive win on Sunday against Aspe that hasn’t hurt their fight for Preferente survival.
