History

There is a precedent in the Copa del Rey, under the CD Málaga name, between the Blue and Whites and Escobedo. In the first leg (12/09/91) in Cantabria, the match ended in a 0-1 win with the first official goal from a very young Basti. In the return leg (26/09/91), at La Rosaleda, there was another Malaguista victory. This time it was a 2-0 win with goals from Monreal and Onofre to secure a pass to the next round with a 3-0 win on aggregate.
