Santa Cruz reaches 100 official games with MCF

Paraguayan striker, Roque Santa Cruz, played his 100th match with Málaga Club de Fútbol in last Friday’s Málaga-Getafe clash.

Roque, who arrived at the Club in 2012/13, and is currently in his second stage with the team, following a brief time with Mexico’s Cruz Azul last season, has scored 27 goals in 100 matches amongst all competitions.  The player from Asunción is therefore MCF’s 35th player (since 1994) to reach 100 official matches.
