The Fuenlabrada won 0-1 in Malaga with a penalty goal from the French Randy nteka in a very complete match and that could end up with a higher income on the scoreboard due to the chances it generated, a result that serves to move further away from the relegation zones and that slows the Malaguistas in their options to fight to opt for the ascent.
The game, very calm at the beginning, although with a little more dominance from the Malaguistas, changed completely with an action, the first by Fuenlabrada in the rival area, which meant a penalty in favor of the Madrid team for a hand from the forward Quintana Cay at 10 minutes.
The Huelva player touched the ball with his right hand inside the area, after a corner, and the referee Iglesias Villanueva, after reviewing it in the VAR, indicated a maximum penalty that was transformed by the French striker Nteka.
Málaga accused the hard blow inflicted by Fuenlabrada, was totally disorderly in defense and gave their rival options to extend the score, although ex-Malaguista Alex Mula missed two opportunities only in front of goalkeeper Dani Barrio.
The Fuenlabrada he did not suffer, he played at pleasure and kept a disastrous Málaga at bay, far from his football theory despite the fact that his coach, Sergio Pellicer, lined up two forwards, Caye Quintana and Serbian Stefan Scepovic, in search of greater depth offensive.
The Madrid team had the sentence again, but its striker Borja Garcés failed in the definition against Dani Barrio, while Malaga's system did not work with two forwards, he did not shoot once on goal and was null in the center of the field, with a soft and hesitant rear.
After the break, Pellicer moved chips with the entry of midfielder Jairo Samperio and defender Cristo Romero, for Scepovic and Matos, but the set continued in favor of Fuenlabrada, more orderly and better in all respects.
In the end, Fuenlabrada knew how to keep its advantage without haste to end up winning with justice by a 0-1 that leaves both teams very close to securing their presence the next season in the Second Division, having practically achieved permanence with six games remaining for conclude LaLiga.
