Malaga, Spain, ESP — A dramatic six-goal contest in LALIGA 2 ended level after Juan Latasa struck deep into stoppage time to cancel out Málaga's lead and earn Real Valladolid a share of the points.
Málaga made a blistering start, with Chupete opening the scoring in the 11th minute to give the home side an early advantage. Carlos Dotor doubled the lead just three minutes later, putting Málaga firmly in control at La Rosaleda.
Real Valladolid refused to fold, however, and Peter Federico pulled one back in first-half stoppage time — a crucial goal that kept the visitors in contention heading into the break.
Málaga restored their two-goal cushion almost immediately after the restart, with Chupete netting his second of the match in the 48th minute to make it 3-1.
Valladolid continued to press and their persistence in possession — edging the ball with 50.8% — eventually told. The visitors worked their way back into the match and, with the clock running down, Latasa delivered the decisive blow in the second minute of stoppage time to level at 3-3 and deny Málaga all three points.
