His opening touch of the game came after just nine seconds and, by the time he’d enjoyed a second, United were already a goal up, courtesy of Alejandro Garnacho.
Malacia was regularly in space on the far flank and Bruno Fernandes in particular made a habit of finding him, particularly in the second part of the first 45.
That came after Kjetil Knutsen’s side had surprisingly struck twice in four minutes, through Hakon Evjen and then Philip Zinckernagel, who outpaced Malacia before firing beyond Andre Onana.
The 25-year-old didn’t let that moment faze him though and was part of the attacking charge that successfully found an equaliser just before the break, through Rasmus Hojlund.
