Atlético Malagueño: goals to keep the dream alive

Atlético Malagueño will welcome Castellón to La Rosaleda on Sunday with a clear objective: scoring goals. Winning 1-0 or a favourable two-goal difference will mean a pass to the 3rd round of #promotionplayoffs to Second B.

The MCF reserve team has been competing in Spain’s Third Division for the last nine seasons, and in six of which they’ve ended in the top four teams of Group 9 and the promotion play-offs.  In 2015/16, Atlético Malagueño has shown great scoring power, with 99 goals in 41 games (an average of 2,41 per match).  Following the 2-1 defeat in Castalia, Ruano’s boys need to reach or exceed the 100 goal mark to qualify to the third and definitive round of the #promotionplayoffs to Second B.

The Blue and Whites’ reserve team’s two best seasons from a goal-scoring aspect were in 1998/99, when Málaga B ended in the top spot of Third Division Group 9, scoring 93 goals, plus another 9 in the Second Division B play-offs (102 in total); and in 2001/02, when Málaga B ended in 2nd place of Third Division Group 9 with 90 goals, plus another 10 in the Second Division B play-offs (100 in total).
