A lot of interest to see how big-spending Málaga do this season, and after a first defeat at Sevilla, they finally got their campaign under way with a convincing 4-0 victory over Granada on Monday night. Cazorla started things off early on, picking up Duda's corner and beating Roberto with a shot from the edge of the area, and Joaquín added the second midway through the first half, heading a Jesús Gámez cross down past the keeper. Van Nistelrooy and Joaquín both tried their luck before the break, but three minutes after the restart Cazorla made it three with a clever free kick, drilling it low through the defensive wall as they jumped in the air. A few minutes later Joaquín completed the double act with his second from Cazorla's cross, and although Jara brought a save at last out of Willy Caballero, Isco could have completed the "manita" near the end had Roberto not pulled off a top class save from the Spanish youth international.
