Deportivo have now gone twelve games without a victory after a high scoring 3-3 draw against Málaga on Saturday. Charles headed the visitors into the lead somewhat against the run of play on the half hour mark, but Lucas Pérez should have equalized soon afterwards, Kameni keeping out his first shot, and Weligton blocking his follow up on the line, The visiting keeper injured himself in the action and had to be replaced by Ochoa, and soon afterwards Borges made it all square after Fede Cartabia set him up. Camacho headed the visitors back into the lead though from another corner with just over an hour gone, but Cartabia ran in from midfield to level it once again, and Pérez made up for his earlier mistake, turning Fajr’s centre past Ochoa with ten minutes to go. However with a minute left on the clock Arribas headed Recio’s free kick into his own net, and the visitors held on for a point despite having Camacho sent off for a second bookable offence with the game already in injury time.
