Málaga CF ranks second in relation to teams with the highest number of different goal-scorers out of the 11 League games so far. Sandro (5), Camacho (2), Llorente, Rosales, Juanpi, Chory, Duda, Jony, Pablo, Santos, Charles and En-Nesyri are the 12 players who have scored up to now. The leaders of the table, Real Madrid, rank first in this statistic, with 14 different scorers.
Sandro, with five goals, is the Malaguista ‘pichichi’, and is immersed in a scoring streak. He scored three goals in the last three League matches, and scored in each one of the last four games held at La Rosaleda. In addition, after Iago Aspas (6), he’s tied with Aduriz as the best Spanish striker of the competition.
