River Plate vs Malaga 1 - 1


The 2nd match of the season, which saw Malaga travel to Buenos Aires in Argentina and face River Plate. The match started badly for the visitors and after 8 minutes, their defence was caught napping and Gallardo slotted the ball home. As time went by Malaga got more in the game and a powerful shot by Eliseu was saved by Ojeda.


In the second half, Malaga went out looking for the goal and it finally came when Eliseu went past Ferrari, passed to Luque who dribbled past 2 defenders and made it 1 - 1. So had to be the result, even if Malaga looked more and more threatening as time went by. They could have easily won the match when a header from Luque was just saved by Ojeda. Despite the draw Malaga still managed to move one place up the table to second level on points with Romainians Cluj.


The club physio also reports that right-back Cortes had sustained an injury and will miss the next match against Lorient.
