The MBC ends its season at La Rosaleda

Málaga Club de Fútbol’s Business Club brought an end to the 2017/18 season at the best possible location, La Rosaleda stadium.

The highlight of Monday’s farewell event was the ‘MBC Match’. Following the presentation and distribution of teams in the ‘Juan Cortés’ press room, members of the Blue and Whites’ Business Club were split into four squads, captained by four legendary former players, currently linked to the Club: Basti, Josemi, Iznata and Manolo Gaspar.

The ‘final four’ format, with two semi-finals, a third-place decider and the grand final, meant a total of four games were played on the pitch at La Rosaleda. In the first semi-final, Manolo Gaspar’s MBC team defeated Josemi’s MBC team on penalties, whilst Iznata’s MBC team won 3-1 against Basti’s MBC team. The third-place decider, which also went to a penalty shoot-out, was won by Team Josemi, leaving Team Basti in fourth place.

The exciting grand final kicked off with two goals for Team Gaspar. However, Team Iznata made a comeback and the match ended all square at 2-2. Once again penalties would determine the winner of the tournament, this time it was 3-1 to a victorious Raul Iznata’s team, leaving Manolo Gaspar’s team in second place.

Following the matches and prize giving ceremony, the MBC members enjoyed networking and a cocktail on the Martiricos pitch, thanks to Doña Francisquita, bringing an end to a very fruitful year for The MBC.
