Great start for the #JuvenilDH in the #CopaDeCampeones (2-0)

The MCF Academy side defeated Athletic Club in the first leg of the quarter-final of the Copa de Campeones. A brace from Roberto (66’ and 68’) gives the Blue and Whites an advantage going into the return leg.

Málaga CF and Athletic Club locked horns this Sunday at 12:00 at the Federación Malagueña ground, in the first leg of the Copa de Campeones quarter-final. The locals brought intensity and pace to the game from the outset, despite the severe heat.

Roberto, Larrubia and Haitam all tried their luck in the first half, that ended at 0-0. In the second half, the Blue and Whites continued along the same line, with insistence and good gameplay, until Roberto finished off a great individual display from Oso (66’) to put the locals 1-0 up.

With no time for the visitors to react, Loren on the right wing, following a superb long run from Mati, assisted the number ‘10’ to score his second goal of the match, two minutes after the first (68’).

Despite the Malaguistas’ lead, Nacho’s boys went all out for goal number three, with both Ibra and Loren causing trouble for the rival keeper. However, the 2-0 score prevailed at the full-time whistle. Málaga CF have the advantage in a tie that will be decided next weekend in Bilbao.
