Pedro easily away from Eliseu at the start of the half, but his cross is drifted well over the entourage of playes and out for a goal kick.

It comes to nothing and there's no stoppage time at all.
45'
Messi with an unusually heavy pass out to Pedro forces him wide. No need for him to pass so early on the break either. Corner nevertheless...
44'
Rondon with a good run in behind Puyol, but he crosses without looking up and it's cleared by Mascherano.
43'
Duda looks for all the world like he'll score as Pinto flaps the ball down into his path. Fabregas with a heroic block though and it's cleared. John Terry in disguise.
42'
Messi really should be offside as Cuenca nudges him through on goal. It was a good call from the linesman though.
41'
Messi, Iniesta and Fabregas all fail as they try to beat their man in succession.
40'
Cesc nips in front of Rondon and smuggles the ball back to Pinto. He's straight up the other end as he tries to beat the offside trap, but is caught marginally offside.
38'
Alves sometimes just isn't a very good footballer. Today's one of those days. Another cross sails into Kameni's arms.
37'
Malaga win a corner up the other end, but it's hit straight out for a goal kick. Good ball from Keita to Iniesta, who again is fouled.
36'
Gamez argued that the foul occured outside the area. It was mighty close, but the ref gave the right call; it looked to have happened on the line.

Goal! Barca 2-1 Malaga - No prizes for guessing who takes it. And no mistake as the little Argentinian sends Kameni the wrong way. That's 66 goals for the season.

Messi lets the ball come across his body beautifully, but can't quite work the space to shoot. Iniesta picks the ball up and drives into the area. Gamez fouls him and it's a pen!
33'
A mix up between Cuenca and Iniesta, but Rondon is running into a blind alley. Way more through balls from Barca than usual though and again this one is cut out.
31'
Freekick as Messi is fouled. Alves tries to play a one-two with Pedro, but is caught offside. The Brazilian quickly wins the ball back, but overhits the through ball to Messi.
30'
Iniesta's pass is cut out. Alves gets the ball but once again his cross is awful. He's having a terrible game.
29'
Cesc gets away with what very much looks like a foul. Messi plays right to Alves, but his cross doesn't beat the first man.
28'
Barca's reply comes from Messi as he darts down the right, leaving defenders in his wake. Not enough support though and Malaga win the freekick.

Goal! Barcelona 1-1 Malaga - Buonanoote plays the ball through for Portillo, who lays off for Gamez. It's Rondon surrounded by four Barca players, but he still finds room to head it into the far corner. Great goal.
25'
Rondon has the ball, but he's really isolated as two Barca players track him all the way. Malaga win it back though and it takes good covering from Adriano to clear the danger.
24'
Duda plays a perfect blind pass across to Eliseu. The shot's on, but his effort is woeful as he slips and goes miles wide.
