MALAGA celebrated qualifying for the Champions League group stage for the first time with a 1-0 victory at Real Zaragoza that put the Qatar-owned club level on points with Real Mallorca at the top of La Liga on Saturday.
Manuel Pellegrini's Malaga was a deserved winner on a poor, sand-strewn Romareda pitch thanks to Ignacio Camacho's near-post header from a corner in the 56th minute.
Mallorca then saw off Real Sociedad in the late kickoff after Victor Casadesus stooped to nod the ball into the corner of the net 15 minutes from time to secure a 1-0 win at the Iberostar Estadi.
Both teams have seven points from three matches, one ahead of Barcelona, Real Valladolid and Rayo Vallecano who were playing yesterday.
Malaga has managed to shrug off institutional instability and the departure of key players like Santi Cazorla to make a solid start to the season and came through its Champions League playoff at Panathinaikos last Tuesday.
It was drawn in Group C of Europe's elite club competition along with AC Milan, Zenit St Petersburg and Anderlecht.
Pellegrini told a news conference he was pleased his players had been able to maintain their intensity after their exertions in Europe in midweek and slammed the state of the pitch.
"There was no tiredness left over from Tuesday and the players fought for every ball," said the Chilean, a former Real Madrid and Villarreal coach.
Getafe followed up last weekend's surprise 2-1 win at home to champion Real Madrid when it fought back to salvage a 1-1 draw at promoted Deportivo la Coruna.
