Charles hat-trick and first win for Málaga

Charles Hat-trick

Malaga had not yet released his scoring account in Liga BBVA, but Charles was responsible for amending it in 4 minutes. A beautiful volley, a delightful chip and a good definition in the box have served to achieve the first hat-trick of the Brazilian and the first goals of the Andalusian club.

Agirretxe shares the "Pichichi"

Real Sociedad´s goal has a name. Statistics are aware of this, and Zurutuza knew it as well when he crossed the ball from the side looking for Imanol. Agirretxe jumped into the Málaga´s sky and finished off the back of the net with a header that reduced the gap on the scoreboard. A header which also places the "Txuri Urdin" striker with five goals in Liga BBVA, tied as top scorer of the competition with Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Nolito.

Twenty minutes outnumbered

Tissonne sending off in the 70th minute left Real Sociedad with one man more for 20 minutes. 20 final minutes where the Basque side gained ground in the field of Málaga, but several off sides and Charles's third goal ended the draw options.

Kameni saves and assists

6 minutes into the game when Kameni kicked a long ball that was picked up by Charles to extend the lead. His stops at key moments of the game were fundamental to preserve the three goals ahead at the Rosaleda.

Unusual situation

After the early stages of the second half, De la Bella and Rullli had a misunderstood to each other and the referee gave a back pass fault. The good placement of the defense and the great reaction of Rulli prevented Malaga broaden its advantage.
