Málaga and Racing
Santander were already sure of staying up before the start of their match, and
there was a relaxed, festival atmosphere in the Rosaleda stadium as the
Andalusians ran out 2-0 winners.
Nando Yosu made several
changes to his line up, giving a first run out to keeper Toño and
drafting in Pablo Sierra and Jonathan Valle. But apart from an effort by
Torrado they hardly troubled Arnau, and after Baiano missed an easy chance,
Edgar put the hosts ahead after picking up a lofted pass from Miguel
Angel.
The introduction of Aganzo
to join Arizmendi made little difference, and Yosu eventually decided to give
youngster Juanjo his first team debut. But with the game coming to an end it
was Málaga substitute Amoroso who made the difference, scoring his
side's second after a long gallop out of his own half. |
