A new season under very austere measures and budget, new coach, Joaquin gone and no Europe for economical reasons!
Malaga vs Osasuna. Osasuna coming off a bad run of form recently, this game won't be easy on them. While Malaga are also struggling to take control of their games. In defense their a little shaky, offensively they can't string together too many passes at once. The reliance on Cabellero is there, as he is a top goalie.
Malaga behind 1-0 against Osasuna. Both sides are trying to control the match but much of the play has been in the center of midfield. Sergio Sanchez went forward often, as well as Jesus Gamez, neither providing the right sort of pass though. For Osasuna, Oriol Riera got into the places but failed to score, the attack has been creating a few chances for Osasuna.
Malaga lose to Osasuna 1-0. It showed how Malaga's defense was just opened up without too much penetration themselves in attack. El Hamdoui did show a little bit more than others, Cabellero played for the side though. For Osasuna, Oriol Riera was involved in everything. Defensively though, they were better than Malaga.
