Malaga, the newly promoted side, once again failed to secure their first win of the season, drawing 0-0 at home against Levante in a Matchday 4 fixture. This marks their second home draw, leaving them with two points. Levante, meanwhile, now has five points.
At La Rosaleda, Malaga had an early opportunity to take the lead when Chupete missed a penalty in the ninth minute, saved by goalkeeper Mathew Ryan. The rebound led to a scramble, and the ball found the net off a Levante player, but the own goal was disallowed due to an attacking foul.
This proved to be one of the few notable moments in a largely uneventful match, with both goalkeepers combining for a total of six saves.
In the next round, Malaga will travel to face Celta Vigo, while Levante will host the formidable champions, Barcelona.
