MADRID (Reuters) - Neymar was sent off as Barcelona suffered a shock 2-0 defeat at Malaga on Saturday that scuppered their hopes of going top of La Liga and handed control of the title race to leaders to Real Madrid. Former Barcelona striker Sandro Ramirez opened the scoring for Malaga with a breakaway goal in the 32nd minute before Jony added a 90th-minute second for the hosts. Neymar was shown his second yellow card and dismissed midway through the second half. Adalberto Penaranda put the ball in the net for Malaga but his effort was incorrectly ruled out for offside. We didn’t get the second goal and we suffered."
