Malagueño focus on playing a heroic role to reach 2B

The reserve team must come from 2-0 down to move up to the bronze division of Spanish football. The boys will host Unión Adarve on Saturday at 18:00 at the Federación Malagueña.

Manel Ruano’s boys face their last opportunity tomorrow to move up to 2B this season. The task won’t be easy. They need to turn around the adverse 2-0 result from the first leg against Unión Adarve in Madrid.

Difficult, but not impossible. The Malaguistas have had an excellent regular league season, accumulating 90 points, scoring 107 goals and conceding just 34. At the Federación Malagueña, where the definitive match will take place on Saturday, the Blue and Whites remain undefeated. Out of 21 games held at this ground up to now, the reserve team have won 20 times and drawn just once. In addition, out of the 21 matches, in 14 they have achieved a result that would be sufficient to win the tie. Without going any further, Malagueño defeated Peña Deportiva de Ibiza by 3-0 in the last play-off held at this ground.

The squad is prepared. The players and coaching team are confident in their work and their possibilities, in order to come back from the adverse first leg result and hope the ‘pitch factor’ will be a decisive influence. Furthermore, the players and fans have come together on social media, using the hashtag #YoCreo (#IBelieve). Indeed, fans acquired all available tickets for this match at La Rosaleda ticket offices within 40 minutes.

Everything’s ready for the Federación Malagueña to become a fortress. Vamos Malagueño!
