15' GOAL! Malaga 0-1 Barcelona (Suarez)
Goal! Barcelona have taken a 0-1 lead courtesy of a header from Luis Suarez.
Paulinho clips a neat ball to Jordi Alba out on the left flank and the full-back takes his sweet time in lifting his head, sizing up the run of Suarez and lifting a lovely floaty ball into the box, and all your man Suarez has to do is nod it gently forward and it loops into Roberto's bottom corner.
28' GOAL! Malaga 0-2 Barcelona (Coutinho)
Great finish from Philippe Coutinho to give Barcelona a 0-2 lead.
Dembele, finally beginning to make an impact after that horror injury, slides a low cross into the six-yard box and Coutinho makes the smallest contact with the back heel and it just rolls past Roberto.
30' Red Card! S.Garcia sent off
72: Sergio Roberto is withdrawn for Barca and Gomes trots on.
