Málaga's European inexperience showed through, and they made hard work of winning this match against what should have been an easy opponent, the unknown Amica Wronki. However the Polish side caught them out when Dawidowski's speculative shot deflected off Krol past Contreras, an important away goal with only one minute on the clock. A few minutes later Darío Silva headed wide with the goal at his mercy, but Amica almost scored again when Krol got away on a rapid breakaway only to shoot wide. Before the interval though Málaga drew level, the newly blond Romero following up with a crisp header after Darío Silva's free kick crashed against the crossbar.

Málaga piled on the pressure as the visitors sat back, and after missing an easy chance, Dely Valdés put his side into the lead heading in a cross from Manu. There was a nervous moment or two, especially when a Burkhardt free kick hit the bar near the end, although Litos should probably have scored a third goal in the last minute. The return visit to Poland will not be easy, but Málaga should have the quality to defend their lead and go through into the third round draw.
