Approved and suspended: Malaga draws despite a sibylline VAR

13-Dani Martin: Didn’t do much to stop Stoichkov’s penalty and neither did Corpas’ 2-1. He intercepted some balls. It still gives the impression that it does not convey security.

2-Victor Gomez: It gave the center of the 0-1. Correct in attack but misplaced in defense. They called him a penalty for a ball that hit him in the arm that Edu Expósito missed, the same as in Cartagena, which, like this one, should not have been whistled.

4-Lombán: The referee was very clear about his penalty by hand when Malaga won 0-1 and that we cannot refute because the images (we do not know if they are the same by which the illustrious VAR judges) do not contribute anything. Very slow. It was intoned after the resumption, the fouls do not come out.

17-Peybernes: Displaced at 2-1 and as out of line as in recent games. It does not impose its law. At least in the second half he tried to stop the fall and finish with three and a half disastrous games. Not well.

3-Javi Jiménez: Headline again. He squeezed and tried to give some good crosses on his left wing and he was not bad in defense. He did not practice his long throw-ins.

10-Jairo. The player who tried the most things especially on his right wing, but his game was not always understood by his teammates. In the final stretch, he entered from the left and at times showed the electricity that made him a sought-after footballer a decade ago. Your best match.

7-Paulino: He started playing behind the striker and did not contribute anything. In the second half he moved at times to the right. He finished in midfield when Dani Lorenzo left. Scattered party.

23-Escassi: He has been left alone as a pure midfielder. He runs a lot and helps in all positions, especially in defense, he did not stop running and recovering balls. Generous effort.

42-Dani Lorenzo: At 18 he made his debut as a starter. And it was not out of tune. He ran, defended very well and showed excellent manners with the ball. It was changed at 70 ‘.

9-Brandon: You have taken a step back in the last games. He did not mark differences on the left as he likes, but he was ready scoring the 2-2. The goal and very little else.

22: Sekou: He scored his second goal at 6 ‘and had a chance at 53’, but Paulino hindered him. He worked a lot and is getting closer to the top scorer that Malaga needs.

From the bench:

11-Hicham. He has finally made his debut in this League after a string of successive injuries. His great speed revolutionized the game and gave Brandon 2-2 after one game. He is a spectacular footballer who, if it weren’t for injuries, would be playing in a Champions League team.

24-Cufré. The theoretical left back or winger came out in the final stretch to reinforce the center of the field.

12-Chavarría. He came in to bring experience in pressure from above.

Jose Alberto: The technician played with what he has. Eight casualties are too much of a drag. And yet the team competed with light and dark. There was a small improvement in defense. But still insufficient.
