13: Dani Barrio: Third game in a row as a starter for Gijon. He didn't have a job, but Vivian's lucky goal caught him off his feet.
22-Alexander González: The only novelty in the starting eleven with respect to the duel against Rayo. Vicandi did not observe a knockdown by Pablo Martínez as a penalty, quite evident. The VAR is not a friend for Malaga. The Venezuelan I'm doing quite well,
2-Josua Mejías: New opportunity for the Venezuelan. Attentive and focused, he defended very well and came out to press. Good match.
5-Juande: Strong in the cut and safe on the top. He worked well and contained the rojillos attackers. Very serious. The Mirandés only shot once on goal … the goal.
18-Matos: He went up a lot on his side and defended very well. He undid the offside on Vivian's goal. He looks like the great left back of the past.
8-Luis Muñoz: Team captain. He crashed a whiplash off the post at 8 '. He was fine, but Pellicer traded him for a possible blow to his ankle.
11-Joaquin Muñoz: Created danger for his band and tried the shot after cut. It was from more to less. Balanced duel with Carlos Julio.
23-Escassi: Sober and with hierarchy in the midfield. He missed the mark that Vivian, who won the position in action 1-0.
19-Jozabed: Specialist in set pieces. He was able to open the scoreboard. The best of the news is that this player is going for more.
17-Yanis Rahmani: Very active. He tries everything, but lacks the freshness of previous days. Never wrinkle.
12-Chavarría: The goalkeeper scored a goal at 31 '. Impressive his ability to be everywhere despite being a forward reference. He came out with a bandage on his head ‘a la Camacho’ after a clash with Berrocal. He took more hits than a 'Madelman'. He had to be replaced by Caye Quintana at 65 'after another setback by Vivian.
From the bench:
20-Caye Quintana. He entered through Chavarría, to act as Chavarría. He fought as usual but did not shoot.
30-Ramón Enriquez. He left for Luis Muñoz and did not warm up.
9-Orlando Sat: He only had time to be reprimanded.
10: Jairo: No time
34: July: The same as the previous.
Sergio Pellicer: Party number 50 (three of them of Cup). Courageous approach. Málaga was superior to Mirandés. The goal was missing. Very good team work.
