In a thrilling matchday of football across Malaga province, there were draws for both local teams in the Primera RFEF.

Antequera let a two-goal lead slip away in a thrilling 2-2 draw against Sevilla Atlético. The match began with neither side dominating possession, but Antequera capitalised on their early chances: Álex Rubio scored twice, with his first goal coming from a superb header in the 15th minute and his second from a rebound in the 32nd minute.

However, Sevilla Atlético responded well in the second half. Darío Benavides pulled one back in the 55th minute before a powerful header from Collado brought the match level in the 73rd minute. Despite both sides pushing for a late winner, the game ended 2-2, with Antequera remaining third.

Miracle comeback

In the division below, Estepona (12th) stunned Torremolinos (eighth) with a last-minute comeback, scoring three goals in stoppage time to draw 3-3.

Torremolinos had led comfortably thanks to goals from Álex Camacho, Servetti and Fran Gallego - and even played the second half with a man advantage. However, Estepona refused to give up. Mirapeix netted in the 90th minute, followed by a quick goal from Rubén Mesa.

Then, in a dramatic turn of events, Carrasco scored the equaliser, leaving Torremolinos shell-shocked.
