AdminLeicester City took the lead against Cádiz thanks to a well-taken header from Kirsten Otchere, rewarding a positive start with a deserved breakthrough.
The defender rose highest inside the penalty area to meet a perfectly delivered cross, directing a firm header beyond the goalkeeper and into the back of the net.
It was a goal that reflected Leicester’s bright opening, with the Foxes pressing aggressively and controlling possession for long spells.
Otchere’s finish gave Russell Martin’s side the advantage after a spell of sustained pressure, with Leicester showing plenty of attacking intent throughout the first half.
The move was worked patiently before the cross found its target, allowing the centre-back to make no mistake with his finish.
The goal also highlighted Leicester’s threat from set-piece situations and wide deliveries, an area the coaching staff have clearly been working on during pre-season.
Otchere’s timing, movement and composure ensured the opportunity was taken, putting the Foxes in front against their Spanish opponents.
