FULL-TIME: Malaga 0-0 Sevilla. And that's our lot! The hosts were very unlucky not to snatch it at the death.
CHANCE TO WIN IT! A terrible backpass is intercepted by Charles inside the six-yard box. With his back to goal, he craftily flicks it round the keeper and stabs towards goal... Hacked clear! What a chance for Malaga...
Arthur Boka is absolutely fuming. He appeared to be clattered, but the referee is unmoved.
Three added minutes signalled.
Malaga showing plenty of promise in the closing stages. They force a corner, but Sevilla survive.
GOAA... NO! Malaga have the ball in the net, but the flag's up. Oooo... that's mighty close. Think the hosts may have been robbed!
Just under 10 minutes remain. Still 0-0...
That was a wicked cross across the face of the Sevilla goal! The ball broke from a challenge involving Amrabat, with Boku fizzing a pass into the box. But Coke was on hand to clear.
There's the change from Emery in response to the sending off of N'Zonzi. Banega is the player who has been taken off, with the more defensive minded Ferreira coming on for Sevilla.
Good shot from Amrabat. The former Galatasaray man winds up the shot from 20 yards, but Beto is fully behind the effort and beats the ball away. That's Malaga's first shot on goal in a while.
Sevilla sub: Ever Banega OFF, Mariano Ferreira ON.
So how will that dismissal affect the complexion of this match? Would Emery take a point now? It had felt like Sevilla were winding up for a charge before the red card, as well.
That was just stupid from N'Zonzi. He was already on a booking as he made a late challenge on Ambrabat, and the referee had no other choice but to show the former Stoke man the red card.
SENT OFF! Steven N'Zonzi (Sevilla) - second bookable offence
ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SEVILLA! Vitolo breaks into the box, evades a challenge and shoots at goal but Kameni makes the save at his near post. He made it look more difficult than it should have been.
Malaga sub: Duje Coq OFF, Duda ON.
Sevilla have the ball in the net, but the flag is up for offside! The delivery came in from Bangea, with Gameiro finishing high into the net, but the Malaga defence all stepped out at the same time.
On comes Konoplyanka in place of Reyes, and the Ukrainian will make his Liga debut. He was quite a coup for Sevilla this summer. Remember he was on the radar of Liverpool last summer?
Sevilla sub: Jose Antonio Reyes OFF, Yevgen Konoplyanka ON.
YELLOW CARD: Arthur Boka (Malaga)
