This Monday afternoon Atlético Malagueño lost 1-2 to Equatorial Guinea’s U-21s in a friendly match at the Marpafut in Marbella. Carlos took the blue and whites into the lead in the first half, but rivals were too strong and they scored twice in the second half. Rafa Gil used the game, which was evenly balanced and intense, as preparation for the coming Third Division league encounter, mixing members from the youth team with the reserves. Present in the stands were the Club’s Sports director, Antonio Fernández, and new director of The Academy, José Manuel Casanova.
