Match Summary

The match never developed a lead. Malaga, at home, went through both halves without a goal. Espanyol, the visitors, were equally blank. There was no opener, no response, and no late change to the scoreline. The story stayed 0-0 from the first whistle until full time.

Malaga were without several listed players. J. Cajuste was out with an injury. M. Diarra was missing with a calf injury. J. Lobete, D. Murillo and A. Ochoa were each listed with a knee injury. J. Salinas was unavailable under a loan agreement. Those absences belong to the home picture. They do not add a goal that was not scored.

Half-time arrived at 0-0. The second half followed the same pattern. When Francisco Jose Hernandez Maeso closed the LaLiga contest, Malaga and Espanyol were still separated by nothing on the scoreboard. Nobody scored. The official scoreline is 0-0.

Key Moments

The first half remaining goalless mattered because it left neither team in front at the break. The next goal, had there been one, would have been the first of the match and would have created a lead. It did not come.

The second half also producing no goal mattered because the contest then finished without a winner or a comeback. Full time confirmed clean sheets for Malaga and for Espanyol, and a 0-0 result in LaLiga.

The home absences were the other named subplot. J. Cajuste, M. Diarra, J. Lobete, D. Murillo, A. Ochoa and J. Salinas were all listed as unavailable. The official result stayed 0-0 anyway, because Espanyol did not score either.
