The eleventh matchday in Group 2 of Primera RFEF proved a difficult one for Malaga provinceās representatives.
Over the weekend, only Juventud de Torremolinos managed to secure a point, while Antequera CF and Marbella FC both suffered damaging defeats that further deepened their struggles in the lower half of the table.
Sevilla AtlĆ©tico 1ā1 Torremolinos
Torremolinos extended their solid run to just one defeat in nine games with a draw at the JesĆŗs Navas Stadium on Sunday.
Antonio Calderónās side struck first through Ćlex Camacho, who finished calmly after a clever pass from Climent. Goalkeeper Fran MartĆnez was crucial, saving a penalty from Ćlex Costa and later denying Dasilva.
However, the hosts equalised early in the second half when CastrĆn capitalised on a loose ball in the area.
Despite a late chance for HƩctor, the visitors had to settle for a point but remain comfortably mid-table.
Marbella 1ā2 Alcorcón
Marbellaās first home defeat of the season came on Sunday as Alcorcón punished their inefficiency in front of goal.
Rafa Llorente opened the scoring on the counter before Luis Alcalde levelled just before the break.
The home side rarely threatened after the restart, and the visitors sealed victory through Vladys Kopotunās late strike.
With just one point from their last four matches, Carlos de Lermaās team are now sliding towards the relegation zone.
Algeciras 1ā0 Antequera
Antequera were left frustrated on Saturday after dominating for long spells but losing to Algecirasā only shot on target.
A deflected free-kick beat Ćlvaro FernĆ”ndez to hand the hosts victory, despite Abel Gómezās men pressing hard after the interval.
Substitutes like Ribeiro came close to equalising, but the visitorsā lack of cutting edge proved costly.
The result leaves Antequera winless in three league games and now among the bottom four.
