Juande, the total top scorer

The hand of Juan de Dios. Juande (Juan de Dios Rivas Margalef) is already Málaga's top scorer. Four goals with the two that he scored against Lugo and that he saved a point for his team despite playing many minutes with one less player due to an expulsion from Caye Quintana. The central defender from Córdoba, who will play his 25th game next Tuesday, has consolidated and continues to grow. Pichichi total. In addition to these four goals, he has scored two own goals.

Double-fired centrals. The always interesting and highly recommended Twitter account Twistoriadel MLG managed by Alfredo Santiago refreshes us with a piece of information of great interest. Juande is the third double-scorer defender with Málaga Club de Fútbol. The first was Mikel Roteta in a match played against Mérida on 5/24/1998. The Basque scored two goals in a match won by Málaga 4-3. The second was Alexis against Racing in Santander (2-3) on 30-4-2006.

'Golden Wedding' by Sergio Pellicer. The Málaga coach will also complete his first 50 games next Tuesday, in Segunda and Segunds B, in Fuenlabrada. After having debuted in January against Ponferradina with the Blue and Whites, he will add 36 games to which must be added the 14 that he directed in Segunda B at Fabril, Deportivo's subsidiary. A round figure in these two categories and going up

Caye can fall between two and three games. And this is the most optimistic forecast. The wording of the referee minutes Arcediano Monescillo makes it quite clear. “In the 55th minute, the player (20) Quintana Hernandez, Cayetano was sent off for the following reason: He headed an opponent without the ball in play.” This last detail “without the ball in play” is what is really dangerous. If the Competition Committee applies article 98 of the Disciplinary Code, we can speak of a sanction of at least four games. If, on the contrary, he decides on article 123, the punishment would be up to three, which is what it seems, he could fall after his red for giving a head butt to the former player of Cádiz Carrillo.

Carrillo's stomp. Caye Quintana reacted that badly because Carrillo gave him a stomp that left his right ankle damaged. An action that, had it been reviewed by the VAR, would have resulted in the expulsion of the Lugo player. The player admitted the mistake on his social networks. In any case, Málaga joins the club of those who are dissatisfied with arbitration technology.

Málaga visit their second home. The blue and white team's next visit will be to Fuenlabrada, their second home. And we say “his second home” because Fernando Torres is the alternative blue and white stadium if the pandemic were so tight that it would be impossible to play at La Rosaleda. The same benefits this ‘field factor’ against the king of the Second Division tie (no less than eight).

Sandoval and Málaga. As incredible as it may seem, the current Málaga coach was on the Malaguista agenda. It was in the middle of last season. Pérez Caminero was still sports director and Víctor Sánchez del Amo was beginning to be questioned about the poor results of a team that did enough to survive. Caminero would be dismissed and Sandoval ended up in Fuenlabrada after Mere's dismissal. He is a coach who is usually good at reactivating teams.
