The second leg of the cup made Malaga travel to the south of France to defend a 3 - 1 lead on Lorient. Luque started the match alongside brazilian striker Adriano and he didn't hesitate to take the first shot of the match which was difficultly saved by the keeper. Just a few minutes after Lorient were presented with a controversial penalty. Defender Cuadrado said after the match that he never touched Gameiro and claimed that the striker is a diver. Abriel stepped up only to send it wide and miss the chance of taking control of the match. As the game was destined to remain 0 - 0 before half time, Luque smashed a low shot and scored in Injury time.
10 minutes after the begining of the second half, Lorient's Le Pen scored the equaliser but 10 minutes later Adriano regave Malaga the lead. Malaga continued to dominate the match and Adriano could have added a second. But it remained 2 - 1 and so Malaga progressed 5 - 2 on aggregate.
Next up in the cup Malaga face AIK of Sweden.
