Goya began the day well as he carded two birdies on a solid front nine at the third and seventh.
The Argentinian exploded into life at the start of the back nine, though, picking up two shots with consecutive birdies at the 11th and 12th holes.
However, as the European Tour's official Twitter feed highlighted, Goya's bogey at the 13th—his first since the final hole of Day 1—proved costly as it allowed his rival back into contention:
Slattery had thus far produced a mixed final round, opening with a birdie before bogeys at the second and seventh had him going backwards.
The Englishman returned to par after picking up a shot at the 11th, and perhaps buoyed by Goya's moment of weakness, levelled the score with an impressive birdie at the 14th:
Goya—whose only win on the Tour came in 2009—responded nervously, bogeying the 15th to drop a shot behind Slattery.
Slattery sealed the win at the 17th, as he chipped in magnificently to card another birdie:
Earlier in the day, former champion Michael Hoey made a strong run up the leaderboard as he climbed 16 places with an excellent seven-under 64.
The Northern Irishman parred the first hole before making four consecutive birdies and adding three more in the back nine at the 11th, 12th and 13th.
The 36-year-old was unable to make any more gains in his final five holes, though, and he could only look on from the clubhouse as Goya and Slattery contended the top two positions.
Sunday's win is just Slattery's second on the European Tour after he triumphed in the Madrid Masters in 2011.
The Englishman also picked up 166,660 Race to Dubai points, which sees him climb into the top 70 for the European Tour.
