BARCELONA, Spain — Malaga stunned Barcelona with a 1-0 victory at Camp Nou on Saturday to end the hosts’ 11-game winning streak and prevent them from taking the overnight lead of the Spanish league.

Real Madrid visits Elche on Sunday, looking to extend its one-point advantage at the top.

Malaga struck early when Juanmi Jimenez took advantage of a collective defensive error in the seventh minute.

Coach Javi Gracia’s team had held Barcelona 0-0 in their first meeting this season, and the visitors again did well to contain a team which included Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez en route to their first win at Barcelona since the 1999-2000 season.
