Kgatlana bags brace of assists for Eibar against Valencia

Thembi Kgatlana provided two assists as Eibar crashed to a 4-2 defeat against Valencia in Tuesday's Spanish Primera Iberdrola game at Estadio Antonio Puchades.

The South Africa international was handed a start to increase her goal tally in the ongoing season but her double of assists could not help Iker Dorronsoro's team escape defeat against their hosts.

On the heels of a 2-0 triumph over Santa Teresa, Eibar were aiming for back-to-back wins as Kgatlana assisted Arola Aparicio to open the scoring after just 12 minutes in the encounter.

Valencia, however, mounted a fightback in the contest when Iina Salmi levelled the scoreline with a fine strike in the 26th minute.
