Kgatlana the herione on full debut as Eibar stun Espanyol

Thembi Kgatlana scored the winner on her first start for Eibar as they secured a 1-0 win at Espanyol in Saturday's Spanish Primera Iberdrola contest at Ciutat Esportiva Dani Jarque.

The South Africa international joined Eibar from Portuguese outfit SL Benfica this summer and had scored once in all her previous three outings as a substitute for Iker Dorronsoro's team.

Following her fine showing in her last games, the 24-year-old was handed her first start by manager Dorronsoro and she played a significant role in her side's second victory of the campaign.
