Málaga secure survival in LaLiga Smartbank
In a very tight Segunda Division, Málaga CF has spent most of the season around the middle of the table. Both playoffs for promotion and relegation spot for Segunda B has been within reach. After the corona break there's been too many draws to keep the playoff hopes alive. However, the ghost of relegation did not let go until the final home game of the season.
The opponent, AD Alcorcón, were still fighting for playoffs, but Málaga came out on top with a solid 2-0 win. This result concludes that both clubs will continue playing in LaLiga Smartbank next season.

The football is also featured, as are the lines from the original club logo, a union of love, solidarity, sports and Malaga. The club is now selling solidarity t-shirts with this shield, and the money raised from the sale will go to the fight against Covid-19.
