The recent Acuatlón on El Playazo beach – 2.5 km run, 1 km swim, 2.5 km run – attracted 180 entries, 148 male and 32 female. The results were as follows:
Maracena 1-2 Nerja
Nerja scored what many considered a surprise win against Maracena on their debut in the Third Division Group 9, winning 1-2. The only blot on the landscape for Nerja was the dismissal from the field of Adrián in the 80th minute for his second bookable offence.
Breath test results
There were 41 breath tests carried out on motorists in Nerja during the period July 11th to 17th of which 6 (14.6%) were positive. However, none of those drivers tested exceeded 60 mg of alcohol per litre of air breathed which would have resulted in prosecution.
Málaga 1-3 Barcelona
A very good job that the Blue and Whites didn’t leave things until the last day as they went down 1-3 to a weakened Barcelona team. M’alaga took the lead after half an hour through Seba Fernández, but Bojan equealised from the penalty spot just before half time.
Málaga up to ninth in La Liga
Málaga will look back on this season and think what might have been as they continue their good run with a 1-1 draw at Athletic Bilbao and climb to ninth in La Liga. Only a few weeks ago they were languishing in the relegation zone, bottom of the pile at one stage.
Wins for Málaga and Real Madrid
Málaga have clawed their way up from the bottom of La Liga and now sit in tenth place after their 2-0 victory last night over Sporting Gijón. Baptista and Eliseu were the scorers.
Wins for the top three
Four goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and one each from Sergio Ramos and Kaká were enough to see Real Madrid safely past Sevilla, the final scoreline 2-6. Negredo bagged a pair for Sevilla.
Atletico Madrid 0-3 Málaga
An excellent win for Málaga at Atletico Madrid, first half goals from Rondón and Baptista and a second half strike from Maresca. Should help their cause, namely to remain in the top flight.
Nerja 0-0 Villacarrillo
Nerja hang on to second place in the Primera Andaluza Grupo 3 on goal difference after a 0-0 with Villacarrillo, four points behind San Pedro who were easy 4-1 winners against Lauro.
Málaga too strong for Hércules
An important victory for the Blue and Whites at La Rosaleda in their attempts to remain in the top division, 3-1 against fellow strugglers Hércules.
