Friday Recap

Malaga came into the game off the back of midweek disappointment in the Copa del Rey as they exited the tournament after a 3-2 aggregate defeat to second-tier Numancia.

However, Michel's side were unable to bounce back and could only pick up a point that does little to help their struggles at the wrong end of the table. 

Levante handed a start to United States defender Shaq Moore, who is starting to make an impression on the team, as noted by Marca's Arch Bell:

The first half was a dour affair with chances at a premium and a lack of quality from both sides all too obvious.

It was a similar story after the break although the hosts were looking the more likely side, per football analyst Chris Henson:

Yet Malaga were almost undone right at the end, a quick Levante counter saw Jose Luis Morales set up Nano Mesa but his shot was well saved by goalkeeper Roberto, to preserve a point.

Opta showed how Levante simply cannot win at Malaga:

While both teams depart with a point it does little for either, Michel remains under pressure at Malaga after a difficult start to the season and a relegation battle seemingly looming.

Levante, meanwhile, will rue missing a late chance that could have sealed all three points against a struggling side.
