Málaga CF came from behind to claim a 1-1 draw at home against RCD Mallorca as they look ahead to their UEFA Champions League play-off decider at Panathinaikos FC next week.
Emilio Nsue set up Israeli forward Tomer Hemed to head Mallorca in front with his third goal of the season on 67 minutes, but Isco laid on a great ball for Juanmi to give Málaga an equaliser 14 minutes from the end, and lift their spirits as they look to defend a 2-0 lead in Athens.
Earlier, Imanol Agirretxe struck twice as Real Sociedad de Fútbol fought back to beat RC Celta de Vigo 2-1 at home, while Brazilian teenager Léo struck the goal that saw Rayo Vallecano de Madrid win by the same scoreline at Real Betis Balompié to maintain their 100% record. Hélder Postiga struck at the death to give Real Zaragoza a 2-1 success at RCD Espanyol.
