Points shared in a match with a crazy final few minutes (1-1)

All square between Málaga CF and Real Sporting, at La Rosaleda, on LaLiga 1|2|3 matchday 32. Djurdjevic put the rival in the lead from the penalty spot whilst Blanco Leschuk netted the equaliser for the Blue and Whites.

There were three changes to Muñiz’s starting line-up in regard to the last match in Tarragona. Munir, Iván Rodríguez and N’Diaye came on in place of Kieszek, Cifuentes and injured Harper. Málaga got off to an energetic start in the first 10 minutes, with dangerous shots by Diego González, Iván Alejo and Blanco Leschuk towards the Sporting goal.

However, it was the rival from Asturias that went ahead after the first quarter of an hour of play. Djurdjevic scored from the penalty spot to take his team to a 0-1 lead in the 20th minute. The team didn’t take note of the blow and continued to surpass the rival with numerous approaches from both sides. Meanwhile, Sporting managed their advantage by remaining well-positioned at the back in search of a surprise quick transition.

Fede Ricca, with a shot to the side of the net following a powerful Luis Hernández throw-in, sought out the equaliser in minute 41 before the half-time whistle.

In the second half, Sporting came out pumped up and raring to go and could have increased their lead with a shot from Peybernes (50’) that grazed Munir’s crossbar. Immediately afterwards, Muñiz made an attacking substitution, bringing on Seleznov for Erik Morán in 52’. The fans cheered on the team with the slogan Málaga Todos a Una’, spurring the players on with chants and cheers on this chilly night.

In 66’, Pablo Pérez from the visitors was sent off following a hard foul on Ontiveros. The Marbella-born winger, three minutes later, fired a shot near Mariño’s area. In 71’, Diego González was shown the red card (double yellow) meaning both sides were down to 10 men. Mula for Iván was the second Malaguista substitution in 74’.

Luis Hernández and his mighty throw-in led to the equaliser. A chaotic action that was resolved in the area as Blanco Leschuk went level (1-1, 83’). The seventh league goal for the Argentinean striker, ‘pichichi’ of the team alongside Adrián. Then in stoppage time, the craziness started. Lod, in 90’, launched a free kick that hit the post. A minute later Mariño saved a header from Seleznov over the goal line. At full-time, the result was 1-1, shared points and Málaga CF in 4th place in LaLiga 1|2|3 with 55 points.
