The cash-rich Andalusian visitors piled more misery for Luis Garcia Plaza’s men as Getafe lost 1-3 in front of home fans at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
Getafe continued their woeful home form in the current La Liga campaign over the weekend as Manuel Pellegrini’s charges profited from the home side’s poor defending.

However, the forwards were helpless as they were resigned to see their side mauled by Malaga in the second half. The visitors scored three goals past a Miguel Angel Moya, taking all three points from the important away fixture.

A relieved http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-c23383 Pellegrini praised his players after the match, welcoming the much awaited away win after a string of defeats on the road.
The Chilean tactician reflected that the away victory could not have come at a better time for Los Boquerones as La Liga nears its final stretch.
Continuing on the topic, the former Real Madrid manager asked the players to look forward to their next match and stated that anything but a win will be a negative result. Malaga welcome European-contenders Levante to La Rosaledaa, in their next league match.
“We needed the points,” said the Chilean. “We have had a lot of defeats away from home, most of them unjust, but I don’t think it is a turning point. We also have to continue playing well at home and the most important thing is to win next week.”
The Andalusian side have won four of their last six matches, as the race for UEFA Champions League places heats up. Pellegrini’s men thrashed a hapless Real Zaragoza 5-1 in their last league match, and the 1-3 win over a resilient Getafe will do wonders
to their morale.
Malaga are currently equal on points with fourth-place Athletic Bilbao and find themselves down in rankings due to a poor head-to-head record as well as goal difference.
The coastal club have accumulated 37 points from their 25 league matches.
