Meryem Hajri shines as Sporting de Huelva hold Malaga

Meryem Hajri was in fine form as Sporting de Huelva forced Malaga to a 1-1 draw at the Federacion Malaguena de Fútbol Stadium on Sunday.

The Morocco international came on as a substitute in the 69th minute, replacing Maria Bonsegundo and changing the fate of the game.

Marta Cazalla opened the scoring for the hosts courtesy of an assist from Paula Fernandez in the 23rd minute.

However, Malaga's hopes of claiming their second win in 19 games were spoiled when Hajri teed up Sanrea Bernal to score and force a draw at the death.
