  • 3' The referee has no hesitation. Aaron Ochoa is booked for Malaga CF — card on 3.
  • 8' The 26-year-old Roko Baturina has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 11' What a moment for Leo Baptistao! That strike on 11 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 16' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 21' Málaga CF come into this ranked 12 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 24' That is a card for Malaga CF. Kevin Villodres will be fuming at that decision.
  • 26' Malaga CF ring the changes. Ramon Enriquez Rodriguez has done his job and it is now time for Izan Merino to step up.
  • 31' Málaga CF is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 33' That looks like a foul for a card for Nelson Monte.
  • 38' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 43' Alejandro Pozo, a Spain , has 13 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 46' It is a substitution in Malaga CF team. Kevin Villodres is replaced by Antonio Cordero on 46 minute.
  • 51' Málaga CF fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 53' A stunning finish from Sergio Arribas — that came from absolutely nowhere!

  • 62' What composure from Antonio Cordero! The Spain international strokes it home. 0-4.
  • 64' UD Almeria make a change. Alejandro Pozo trudges off to be replaced by Arnau Puigmal on 64 minutes.
  • 65' The crowd applauds Silvi as he leaves the pitch. Gonzalo Melero steps in for UD Almeria.

  • 80' UD Almeria player sees a card in front of him.
  • 85' 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 Aaron Ochoa suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' Malaga CF make a change. Julen Lobete trudges off to be replaced by Yanis Rahmani on 90 minutes.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
