Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Malaga CF get us underway at Estadio La Rosaleda.
- 5' A quiet spell here at Estadio La Rosaleda. Malaga CF seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 10' It is a cagey affair so far. Malaga CF in their 4-4-2 trying to find a way past Granada CF's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 20' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Malaga CF and Granada CF are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 25' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 28' A stunning finish from Antonio Cordero — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 33' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Malaga CF that had 84 games and scored 64 goals.
- 38' Malaga CF are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 43' That is a card for Malaga CF. Luismi will be fuming at that decision.
- 46' Fresh legs for Granada CF! Borja Baston comes on to replace Martin Hongla.
- 51' Malaga CF are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Granada CF backline.
- 54' Controversy at the stadium! Miguel Angel Brau argues furiously but the card stands.
- 59' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Abde Rebbach suffering a number of foals already.
- 60' Malaga CF player sees a card in front of him.
- 61' Georgiy Tsitaishvili picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 66' The Granada CF bench stirs into life. Sergio Ruiz is withdrawn and Trigueros gets his opportunity.
- 71' It is a substitution in Malaga CF team. Daniel Sanchez is replaced by Victor Garcia on 71 minute.
- 75' Granada CF ring the changes. Abde Rebbach has done his job and it is now time for Ricard Sanchez to step up.
- 79' Puga has so much to prove this time. He replaces Antonio Cordero on 79 minute.
- 84' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 84 minutes.
- 85' The Malaga CF bench stirs into life. Chupete is withdrawn and Dioni gets his opportunity.
- 90' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
