Malaga and Levante played out a goalless draw at La Rosaleda on Sunday, 6 September 2026, in a game that never really got going as a spectacle. It was goalless at the break too, and neither side found much of a way through after the restart. Chances looked thin on the ground all afternoon, and the 0-0 scoreline felt about right given how cagey both teams were, each seemingly happy enough to avoid defeat rather than chase the win. Neither side will be thrilled with a point, but neither will be too disappointed either. Malaga stay unbeaten at home for now, though they'll want more bite going forward if they're to turn draws like this into wins. Levante, for their part, will take the clean sheet on the road as a decent building block. It's the kind of result that keeps both sets of fans mildly frustrated but not panicking just yet, with plenty of the season still to shape their form.
The Matchup
It finished 0-0 between Malaga and Levante at Estadio La Rosaleda, a scoreline that summed up a game short on clear separation between the two sides. Neither team could really take control of the ball for long, with Malaga holding 63% possession, close enough to an even split to explain why the game never settled into one side's favour. There were spells of pressure from both teams, but not enough to turn a share of the points into all three. Days like this are part of a long season, and how each side responds in their next fixture will say plenty about their form heading forward. Here is a closer look at how the two teams compared statistically.
