Play-off semi-final: Las Palmas away
Sunday night. The one you've waited for. Málaga travel to Gran Canaria for the first leg of the play-off semi-final against Las Palmas, a 90-minute step toward La Liga (1).
This is the real deal. You finished fourth, 73 points on the board, and now everything resets for a two-legged shootout. Las Palmas have home advantage first. Your job: take something back to La Rosaleda.
The tie is balanced on a knife-edge before a ball is kicked. Las Palmas are tough at home, but this Málaga side has spent the entire season defying expectations. Sunday night is your chance to plant one foot in the final.
The underdog story nobody saw coming
Nobody picked Málaga to be here. Not at the start. Not halfway through.
Yet here you are, one of Segunda's genuine surprise packages, a team that has turned heads all season long with grit and Chupete's 22-goal haul leading the charge (2).
This isn't a fluke. It's been built week by week, a squad that refused to fade. Whatever happens across these next two legs, this campaign has already written its own story.
