Juan Lopez Muniz: Malaga Draw Was Fair

Racing Santander required lifting today as their agonizing Uefa Cup exit on goal difference on Thursday night would have still playing in the minds of the players.

Their 3-1 victory over Mancehster City just wasn't enough, and today against Malaga their display was lacklustre as they they stumbled to their second consecutive home draw.

Full back Valera secured a point after Racing went behind, and Muniz was happy to escape with a point gained.

He said, "I am not sure if this is a good or bad outcome. After the efforts of Thursday night we lacked rhythm today."

Muniz' press conference focused mainly on the second half substitution of Juanjo, who was replaced by Edu Bedia rather that crowd favourite Goncalves, a decision that was met by a chorus of jeers from the home support, due to this but also because he refused to make another change until the end of the match

Muniz defended his substitution policy, stating, "At that time we needed support and encouragement from the terraces and the crowd. We didn't get it."

Racing have won just one of their last six Primera Division matches, and have slipped into 13th position in the league table.
