Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, choose 25 year-old goal keeper Antonio Adan as his main man in front of the Madrid goal leaving behind the veteran, Iker Casillas on the bench. This eventually led Madrid to slip past Barca who are now 16 points ahead of the defending champions Real Madrid.
Malaga started the scoring with Isco who smashed the ball past Adan who couldn't do anything but just watch the ball strike the far corner. Real managed an equalizer, all thanks to Sanchez who turned the ball into his own goal.
