These are some of the highlights of #FuenlaMálaga that ended in a 0-0 draw last Friday:
Pellicer, 4 out of 6
The Blue and White coach completed a notable first week of results during his debut in the dugout. Following the winning debut against Ponferradina at La Rosaleda (1-0) six days ago, he claimed another point in his first away game in Fuenlabrada. As he said in a press conference, anyone could have done it. Nice work, Pelli.
Undefeated streak
It’s not a trivial matter. Without counting the stumbling block in the Copa del Rey in Cantabria, MCF have accumulated eight games without losing. The last defeat took place in Madrid against Alcorcón (1-0) on 17th November 2019. This means the team has remained unbeaten for more than two months, with two victories and six draws. A highly noteworthy statistic.
VAR
The intervention of VAR has been decisive. In the first half, Sadiku scored in minute 43, but from an offside position, following the VAR check. In the final stages of play, in 78’, the same happened in the opposite area. VAR again intervened and the local goal scored by Randy Ntekja was disallowed. There was no revision on a possible foul on Juanpi…
The team to concede the fewest goals
Solvency. Málaga CF, after 24 matches, has conceded the fewest goals in the Second Division. In total, 20. This represents an average of under 0’83 goals per match. With Pellicer at the helm, the team has kept a clean sheet in two matches. In addition, out of the last seven games, no goals were conceded in five of them.
