Málaga won 4-1 against Las Palmas in the Sunday mid-day kick-off to end the season in eighth place. The Andalusians started the day just a point above their opponents, but midway through the first half Duje Cop headed them into the lead from a Miguel Torres cross. Before that though Willian José had headed against the upright, and the ex Castilla striker levelled the scores after Tana played a corner back in to the box. Later in the first half Ochoa had to make a couple of important saves, but with half time approaching Lemos was adjudged to have handled in the area, and Charles stepped up to fire home the resulting spot kick. The result was in doubt however until six minutes from the end, when Atsu cut through to score a third, and two minutes later Charles got on the end of a Duda centre to complete the scoring.
