However, in the 30th minute, the Catalans were led to victory by defender Carles Puyol, when he headed the ball into the opponent's goal after a corner kick by Thiago.
The Malaga team was reduced to 10 men in the 75th minute when Nacho Monreal received a questionable red card, but the team from Malaga did not give up and managed to snatch a draw at the very end of the match.
