Ten-man Malaga battle to victory

Ten-man Malaga have returned to winning ways in La Liga courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Granada at La Rosaleda.

There was less than one minute on the clock when Youssef El Arabi latched onto a rebound to fire the visitors, who had lost their two previous games, into an early lead.

Roque Santa Cruz was on hand to level up the contest when he got the better of Roberto on the hour, although Marcos Angeleri was shown a straight red card soon after to leave Malaga down to 10 men.

Los Boquerones were not fazed by the sending off, though, and they took the lead for the first time with 10 minutes remaining when Vitorino Antunes converted from the spot following Manuel Iturra's handball inside the box.

Allan Nyom came close to equalising late on, although Carlos Kameni managed to tip the ball onto the post to ensure that the home side saw out the victory.

A first win in six sees Malaga climb up to ninth, while an out-of-form Nazaries' outfit drop to 12th place.
