Nigeria-eligible forward, Edna Imade turned heroine for Cacereno as she helped her team play out a 1-1 draw with Cordoba in the Spanish second division encounter on Sunday.

Cacereno had won two of its last five games with a draw and two defeats to Barcelona B and Albarcete respectively.

Cordoba, on its side, has won one of its previous five games and was in search of its first win since February 5, a 4-1 win over CD Juan Grande.

Spanish defender, Yanire gave the host the lead in the 39th minute before Imade equalised for the visitors in the additional minutes of the first half to ensure her side avoid another defeat.

The Nigerian born striker has scored nine goals in the league this season and occupy the second position on the goal scorer chart, four goals behind Barcelona B’s Ariana Arias.

Her team seats in the second position on the log with 39 points after 22 games, four points behind Barcelona B and two points short of Deportivo la Coruna.

Eibar with 39 points come close to Cacereno ahead of Edna’s side’s next game with CD Juan Grande on March 19.
