Appointed match and sudden stop. It couldn’t have turned out worse Málaga CF before a Melilla that sank its teeth into a second part to forget completely from a team that, internally, aspires to be the best in the second round. However, this cannot and should not be the path after leaving Siddiki completely alone (1-0) in a match marked by the pitch and also, unfortunately, by the referee’s decisions. No streak or anything.
First RFEF… really
Was a pure and simple First RFEF match because the state of the Álvarez Claro grass left a lot to be desired. It was already known, but it is one thing to know it and another thing to see how difficult it was to make three passes in a row. This is how the game went for 90 minutes. Now, it could have changed at the beginning if the referee had whistled a very clear penalty to Roberto after gaining position from the Melilla center back, which knocked him down from behind. Well that… a First RFEF match.
The first shot on goal was local, but the truth is that Pellicer’s men began to get into the game as the minutes progressed, despite the lack of football continuity. Of course, the Gabilondo-Ferreiro connection on the right wing He already gave a good example of the vein that the blue and whites have there.

However, the great chance of danger came from the left wing. Victor focused it and Juande, embodied in the figure of Roberto, finished off in the small area with his left foot forcing Montoya into a great stretch. It was the first from Cordoba and not the only one because He also headed the ball in that corner, although without so much danger. They were the best minutes of the first half – and of the game – with very serious arrivals.
Now, it didn’t last long. There are engineers who have had to take much easier exams than the test that Manu Molina faced to calculate the bounce of the ball in each of its movements. With that eternal fight and two very hard tackles on Roberto and Gabilondo the first half ended.
Second disastrous part
Málaga CF changed after the break. Not only did Kevin enter for Víctor – and he was reprimanded – but the lines went up several meters, connecting more with Roberto and the full-backs very high up. Everything seemed to be going well, but, as if it were the touch of a button, The blue and white team sank in five minutes to forget. First it was José Enrique who missed an empty goal, with Herrero already defeated. And then it was Sergio Pérez, after a blunder by Gabilondo, which he half-fixed, who found himself with the blue and white goalkeeper in an attempted shot.

It didn’t take long for Pellicer to shake the tree with the entry of Dioni and Larrubia for Dani Lorenzo and Ferreiro. Two shocks that did not prevent a blackout to present an absolutely unknown team. Melilla grew, supported by its fans and ended up lifting them from their seats. Siddiki, who had just entered, finished off a free-kick completely alone to overtake the locals (1-0). Now, in a possible offside. Well that… a First RFEF match.
In desperation, they entered Javier Avilés and Juan Hernández. All the blue and white artillery was on the pitch, but it was difficult for Málaga CF to overcome the center of the field with stability. The second half deserved little and had little. He had a good action in Avilés, but he decided badly. Larrubia also had a good opportunity to open the game, but he decided poorly… Martiricos’ team was a good team to come back, but the pressure overcame them.
Lost opportunity
Thus, and tied up by Melilla dominating the final stages of the game, Pellicer’s team stumbled. By the way, a defeat that still has a worse taste in the mouth after the draws for Castellón against Ceuta (2-2) and for Ibiza against Atlético Sanluqueño (0-0). In short, a great missed opportunity. Next week, against Recreativo de Huelva. Key match.
