Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Estadio Abanca-Riazor will turn into a battlefield for RC Deportivo La Coruna and Malaga CF.
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' RC Deportivo La Coruna is showing some good football. However, RC Deportivo La Coruna are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 15' Alfonso Herrero has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 41 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Malaga CF is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RC Deportivo La Coruna that had 84 games and scored 74 goals.
- 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Malaga CF winning 50% of all matches.
- 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Malaga CF needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 38' The referee calls foul for Juan Funes. He receives a card.
- 42' The referee shows Malaga CF player a card on 42.
- 47' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 52' Supporters expect more eagerness from Stoichkov, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Abanca-Riazor with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 57' It looks surprising Malaga CF does not make any changes. Josue Dorrio has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 67' Josue Dorrio is replacing Aaron Ochoa for the Malaga CF side.
- 72' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
