Camacho header hands Malaga 1-0 victory

An Ignacio Camacho header was enough to give Malaga a 1-0 victory over Zaragoza on Saturday and maintain the southern club’s unbeaten start to the season. Camacho stooped to knock the ball in at the near post from a corner 11 minutes after half time as Malaga move on to seven points at the end of a week in which they qualified for the Champions League group stage for the first time in their history. It has been an unsettling summer for Malaga following owner Sheikh Abdullah Al-Thani’s decision to listen to offers for the club and the departure of several star names including Santi Cazorla, who joined Arsenal. Earlier, Deportivo La Coruna and Getafe played a 1-1 draw in Coruna. In a late transfer window closed, Madrid coach Jose Mourinho brought in Michael Essien on loan from Chelsea.
