Managerless Antequera CF secure a much-needed victory

The Primera RFEF weekend brought sharply contrasting fortunes for the Malaga province sides: Antequera CF delivered the standout result with a superb win away at Eldense, while Marbella FC and Juventud de Torremolinos both lost to reserve teams.

Antequera earned a hugely important victory at the Pepico Amat under interim coaches Alberto Aguilar and Álvaro Silva on Saturday.

They surprised promotion-chasing Eldense with Moha scoring early before the hosts levelled from the spot.

Antequera controlled the second half and regained the lead when Siddiki pounced from a corner. Moha then capped a superb display with a second long-range finish.

Despite the win, they remain in the relegation zone with 16 points and host Betis B next.

Marbella’s poor run continued as they slipped to a fourth straight defeat, although their performance was more solid on Saturday.

They created several promising openings in a tight contest but were undone in the 72nd minute when Nico Guillén curled in the only goal.

Still stuck on 11 points and six off safety, they need a swift turnaround to avoid being cut adrift. They next welcome Sanluqueño.

On Sunday, after last week’s impressive win in Teruel, Torremolinos produced their worst display of the season at El Pozuelo.

They fell behind early to a low strike from Malagueño-born Lautaro Spatz and conceded again in first-half stoppage time through a Daniel Fernández own goal.

A mix-up at the back gifted Víctor Moreno the third.

Despite the setback, they remain ninth on 18 points after an otherwise excellent start to the campaign.
