The clash was won by the Granada side thanks to two goals by the forward Álvaro, who managed the first one with a penalty shot in minute nine. After the break, as Malagueño were looking like equalising, the game was sentenced with another goal by Álvaro in minute 51.
Equality, tension and everything you would expect from two teams at the top of their league table defined the match as the sides battle for positions to be promoted to Second Division B – and thanks to their win today, Loja reaches the first positions and Atlético Malagueño remain in fifth position.
