Malagueño makes a comeback at home (2-1)

The Malaguista reserve team defeated Loja CD by two goals to one. Goals from Iván (75’) and Moreno (82’) turned the result around, after the opener by Nino (40’), with the Malaguistas down to 10 men following expulsion.

Atlético Malagueño secured a home win against Loja CD by 2-1, in a thrilling match in which the Blue and Whites came from behind to take victory. The match took place today, Thursday at the Federación Malagueña ground, on Third Division Group IX matchday 30 which was brought forward.

The duel started off evenly. The Malaguistas tried to take the reins of play in the wide area, but the rival contained the reserve team’s attempts with solvency. Nino put the visitors in front in minute 40 after a convoluted play inside Kellyan’s area (0-1). The result remained the same at half-time.

In the second half, things rapidly changed. Malagueño went on the attack and besieged the rival in the initial minutes but didn’t manage to go level on the scoreboard.

In 70’, the referee showed the second yellow card to Nané, leaving Dely Valdés’ team a man down. The expulsion, instead of being a psychological blow against the home side, led the Blue and Whites to turn the game around.

Goals from Iván in 75’ and Moreno in 83’ secured a win for the Malaguistas, and three very important points. In the closing stages, Míchel from the visitors was shown the red card. With this 2-1 result, Atlético Malagueño stay at the top of Third Division Group IX, but the points difference will depend on the fixtures over the weekend.
