Not a good start to the season for the Blue and Whites, going down 1-3 to Valencia.
Aduríz openened the scoring for Valencia in the tenth minute but Málaga fought back, debutant Sebastian Fernández scoring just on half time.
However, two goals in four minutes from Joaquín essentially put paid to Málaga’s chances.
Sevilla put defeats in the Champions League qualifier and the Spanish Super Cup firmly behind them to emerge as comfortable 1-4 winners over Levante.
Levante took the lead through a Rubén Suárez penalty kick but it lasted only two minutes before Konko slotted home an equaliser.
Goals from Negredo (penalty), Konko again and Renato sealed it for Sevilla.
