Thader respond well to half time team talk
By Steve Hibberd
An amazing 2nd half turnaround, resulted in Thader emerging victorious, whereas for large periods of the 1st half, they looked as if they were feeling the effects of scoffing too many easter eggs.
Without the injured Quino, Kike started as the lone front runner, whilst fellow striker Nino was named as sub. Fresh from the moral boosting victory over Elda, this Easter Monday local(ish) derby had all the makings of a cracker, as Thader sought revenge for the season’s opening day defeat.
On a Moi Gomez Stadium pitch, which is looking better than it has for a long time, a quick Orihuela break resulted in Sergio Galindo shooting over the bar after 3 mins. From a corner on 8 mins, Fran headed just wide, before Borja became the first of 6 Thader players to receive a yellow card.
