Valencia end the weekend down in fifth place after they lost 1-0 at seventh placed Málaga in the Monday night game. The Ches were looking to return to the Champions League places after they were bumped out by Sevilla earlier in the weekend, but they found themselves behind midway through the first half when Samu Castillejo looped a header over Diego Alves from a Samuel García centre. Alves had to save from Javi Guerra soon afterwards and Juanmi failed to convert a couple of chances before the break, but either side of half time Dani Parejo headed a corner against the woodwork and Gayà brought a good stop out of Kameni. The visitors were left a man short when Cancelo picked up a second booking, and the Andalusians could have gone further ahead, Alves keeping out Samuel and Darder, and Amrabat firing a long shot against the upright. However Valencia almost snatched an undeserved point in the dying moments, De Paul’s shot hitting Paco Alcácer and bouncing inches past the post with the keeper beaten.
