Goals: None.

Málaga were held to a score-less draw in Sarajevo's Olympic stadium by local side Zeljeznicar. Playing their first ever season in Europe, Joaquín Peiró put out his strongest team, with Darío Silva and Dely Valdés together again up front. However the side looked nervous, and they hardly managed a shot at goal throughout the match. The Bosniansthemselves though did not make much impact, and their most dangerous moment in the first half came from the boots of a Málaga player Valcarce, who almost put through his own net.

Peiró brought on Leko after the break and things improved for the visitors. However Zeljeznicar felt themselves unlucky not to take the lead ten minutes from the end when Kajtaz hit the post with Contreras beaten, and Contreras had to save from Radonja soon afterwards. Even so a last minute effort from Darío Silva could have won it for the Spaniards.
