The Blue and Whites earned a 1-1 draw with Zaragoza in a dull match peppered with petty incidents and remain firmly at the bottom of La Liga. Seven yellow and two red cards at least kept the referee busy.
Ewerthon gave Zaragoza after 49 minutes with a penalty after Lafita was brought down inside the area. Málaga salvaged a point from the game after Iván González headed home a corner kick with just eleven minutes of the match remaining.
Sevilla remain third in La Liga after a 1-2 victory on their trip to Tenerife. Seven yellow cards in this match as well, but no one saw red this time.
Perotti and Renato were the scorers for Sevilla, Nino pulling one back for the home side.
