AD Ceuta 2:1 Málaga — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

AD Ceuta edged out Málaga 2-1 in a Club Friendly Games encounter, with midfielder Cedric Teguia earning the highest rating on the pitch despite not getting on the scoresheet. The result gives Ceuta a morale-boosting win in pre-season, though with no competitive fixture confirmed next, the focus shifts to squad fine-tuning.

The match turned on a frantic spell either side of half-time, as Jose Salinas put Ceuta ahead in the 34th minute before Haitam Abaida levelled for Málaga six minutes later. Kuki Zalazar then restored the lead just before the interval, with the hosts surviving a yellow-card-heavy second half, including cautions for Daniel Mas Soria, Chupete and Juan Fernandéz, to hold on.

On the numbers, Málaga dominated possession with 53% and forced five corners to Ceuta’s none, yet the hosts were more clinical in front of goal, outplaying their guests on efficiency rather than control. Teguia stood out with a 9.03 rating from midfield, anchoring the performance despite the pressure. With no prediction data available, the model’s view goes unrecorded, and Ceuta will take the positives while Málaga rue their wasted dominance.
