Recap

Five defeats from their last six outings and a record of one away win from 10 league matches played on the road this season pointed to a difficult task for Malaga in their trip to face Eibar on Monday.

The Gunsmiths lost 1-0 at home to Atletico Madrid in their previous home outing and had not recorded back-to-back defeats at Ipurua Municipal Stadium this term, meaning a bounce-back response was sorely desired.

The host outfit didn't get the start they were looking for, though, when right-back Capa's attempted pass to another defender was picked out by En-Nesyri, who seared down on Eibar's goal almost unopposed.

Malaga's attacker managed to keep his calm and showed a level head to dink past Marko Dmitrovic in the Eibar net, with En-Nesyri finding his groove in scoring against this particular opponent:

Eibar responded to the opener by tightening their grip on possession, but the lack of that necessary edge in the final third left the hosts wanting in their battle to equalise.

Bebe came on to change that with a little more than 15 minutes remaining, however, and the former Manchester United attacker crossed in low for Kike to nip in at the front post and touch home the leveller.

Zdravko Kuzmanovic added more substitute spice to the affair and, just seven minutes after coming on, picked up two cautions in the space of several minutes to earn himself a suspension.

Eibar paid the price for Capa's error but ended up dominating almost 75 percent of possession and outshot their opponents, per WhoScored.com, with a sharing of the spoils likely a fair result for both teams.
