Copa del Rey Wrap: Ten man Osasuna fight back

With Osasuna just one place below Malaga in La Liga, a close encounter was expected at Estadio La Rosaleda for the first leg of the fourth-round clash.

Yet Malaga initially assumed complete control, taking a two-goal lead into the break thanks to strikes from defenders Sergio Sanchez and Antunes, before Juanmi made it 3-0 two minutes into the second half.

Javi Gracia's men launched a stunning comeback on the back of Roberto Torres' 57th-minute strike.

Manuel pulled another back and Emiliano Armenteros made light of Raoul Loe's sending off by equalising in the 78th minute.

Malaga's Ignacio Camacho was also dismissed in a fiery end to the eventful encounter.
