Manel Ruano’s boys have assured their participation in the fight for promotion to Second Division B. 77 points in 32 matches put the Malaguistas as the first representative in the Third Division Group IX play offs.
The Blue and Whites are first in the table with a 14-point advantage above the main followers; Antequera CF and UD Almería ‘B’. This Sunday, Atlético Malagueño will face Antequera in a match that could be definitive for the future of the competition. Should the MCF Academy side win and Almería’s reserve team not claim three points, the Malaguistas will be proclaimed group champions.
If they win the title, Malagueño could achieve promotion to Second Division B by surpassing just one two-legged tie against the leader of another group. If not, they will have a second opportunity in a play-off of two more rounds.
