1-Juan Soriano: Eleventh start in the League. After a stoppage at 6 ', Paulino injured his left leg and Dani Barrio warmed up. He continued and at 41 'he smashed one against Nano in a brave outing. Very sure.
22-Alexander González: He returned to the starting eleven due to the injury of Ismael Casas. He did not go up in the first half in his right lane. Very serious in defense. Good game from the Venezuelan.
2-Josua Mejía: Fighter and very attentive in anticipation. Well above, he frequently went up on the attack. Consolidated and firm.
5-Juande: Strong and seamless. He led, along with Josua, the good performance when it came to shooting the offside.
18-Matos: Paulino slope. He got rid of the yellow at 21 'by one hand. He killed himself working on defense and going up his band giving good centers. Modern and efficient left back.
23-Escassi: A couple of losses against Rubén Martínez and a warning at 23 ’. He recovered many balls and imposed respect in the wide area. Essential player.
11-Joaquin Muñoz: He overcame his muscular problems and tried to project himself through dribbling and speed. Pellicer changed him at 69 'so as not to overload him and because he has four yellows.
8-Luis Muñoz: He repeated in his advanced position from the center of the field. Good on pressure. The VAR annulled a goal for offside at 74 ’. He smashed a ball off the crossbar. The ball seems to have bounced behind the line. Very similar to the one of Míchel's 1986 World Cup Spain-Brazil.
19-Jozabed: Specialist in strategic stationary balls. At 70 'he was able to take his favorite shot from long range for the first time. Provides technique and temperance,
17-Yanis: He scored the 0-1 after getting ahead of Iñaki Saenz. He sought depth and, as almost always, frenaron based on fouls. Few overflows. Pellicer also changed him at the end because he has four yellows.
20-Caye Quintana: He extended with a head in sensational assist a ball that Yanis converted to 0-1. He is a striker who can easily run 11 or 12 kilometers per game. He retired injured at 80 '. What Malaga lacked.
From the bench:
10-Jairo Samperio. He entered at 69 'for Joaquín Muñoz to bring freshness and gave a great goal pass to Luis Muñoz that ended up on the crossbar.
45-Loren Zuniga. Youth forward who debuted with the first team. Eleventh canterano that Pellicer has put so far this year.
24-Benkhemassa. The Algerian entered at 88 'to put muscle in the center of the field.
33-Christ. He went down the stretch for Rahmani.
Sergio Pellicer. He could not count on Scepovic because the Japanese federation did not send the CTI (certificate of international transfer or transfer). Nor did it have Lombán, Orlando, Cristian and Ramón. Eight subsidiaries on the bench. This man works magic.
