Las Palmas 0-1 Málaga result, stats and report

Málaga looked set to hold on after Bryan Zaragoza's early strike, but Espanyol substitute Adrián Niño Heredia levelled in the 90th minute to deny the hosts all three points in a feisty Friday night encounter.

Burgos came to Gran Canaria, absorbed everything Las Palmas threw at them, and walked away with three points thanks to a 94th-minute winner from David González. Las Palmas had the ball, the corners, and the shots. They did not have the basics where it mattered.

Getafe ground out a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Málaga at home in La Liga, with Iván Azón's late right-foot finish the difference between two sides who struggled to create. It was the kind of win Getafe needed badly, and they earned every inch of it.

Villarreal put Málaga to the sword with a 3-1 victory in La Liga, with Pape Gueye stealing the show on a night when the home side were thoroughly outclassed in every department that matters.

Deportivo Alaves host Málaga on Friday night with form on their side and a fragile away side in front of them. This one has the look of a home win written all over it.

Las Palmas host a Real Valladolid side who have conceded fifteen goals in their last ten La Liga 2 matches on the road. Sunday's clash at Gran Canaria is a test of basics, desire, and whether either side has the backbone to impose themselves.

Málaga have not won in their last six La Liga matches and ship goals at an alarming rate. Real Sociedad come to town inconsistent but capable of punishing a home side desperately short of confidence.

Castellón arrive at Las Palmas on Saturday having dropped just once in their last ten La Liga 2 outings, but the hosts have quietly built a fortress mentality of their own. Something has to give.
