y Molina in the 32nd, but he failed to stop Sev

BARCELONA, Spain -- Morocco striker Mounir El Hamdaoui scored a hat trick and set up another goal in his first start for Malaga on Sunday in a 5-0 thrashing of Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish league. El Hamdaoui joined Malaga at the close of the summer transfer window, and with one start he has already equaled his goal scoring tally from last season with Italian club Fiorentina. "(El Hamdaoui) had a perfect start," coach Bernd Schuster said after getting his first win with Malaga. "You cant ask for anything more. He scored, gave assists. Hes a player that is going to help us a lot with his talent and effort. Hes always moving and always wants to receive the ball in a good position. Im happy for him, because it wasnt easy." Elsewhere, Real Betis led by midfielder Salva Sevillas brace dealt Valencia its third straight loss, a 3-1 defeat in Seville, before both teams turn to the Europa League. Espanyol won 1-0 at 10-man Granada thanks to Manuel Lanzarotes 76th-minute free kick, while Getafe striker Nicolas "Miku" Ladislao netted a double in a 2-1 win over last-place Osasuna. El Hamdaoui volleyed in Vitorino Antunes out-swinging cross to open at their La Rosaleda Stadium in the 31st, and nine minutes later the former Ajax played generously squared the ball for Francisco Portillo to make it 2-0. Malagas Eliseu Pereira put the result beyond doubt three minutes after halftime with an unstoppable shot inside the far post. El Hamdaoui finished off a great team buildup in the 62nd with the ball passing through the legs of Portillo, Pedro Morales and Jesus Gamez before he pushed it home. He then used a hard left-footed strike to drive his third goal between the goalkeeper and the post to cap Malagas much-needed victory. "What we saw today was what we were lacking, a great win, with five goals," said Schuster. "We took a step forward today." Valencias sloppy passing helped Jorge Molina put Betis ahead in the ninth, and the striker threaded a through ball for a charging Sevilla to fire by goalkeeper Diego Alves in the 22nd. Diego Alves made the first of several saves to deny Molina in the 32nd, but he failed to stop Sevilla from poking the ball between his legs in the 35th for his second goal of the night. Valencia defender Ricardo Costa pulled one back with a header from a free kick in the 67th, but his team never threatened after. "We are trying to improve, but we gave too much away and its difficult to win playing like that," said Valencia coach Miroslav Djukic. "We lose the ball too easily. We need to keep it simple and play more long balls if we cant make the short pass." Valencia hosts Swansea on Thursday in the Europa League while Betis welcomes Lyon. Espanyols victory at Los Carmenes Stadium kept the Barcelona-based side unbeaten through four rounds to start the season. Lanzarote gently curled the ball off the post and into the net from a free kick inside Granadas area awarded to Espanyol after the referee ruled that goalkeeper Roberto Fernandez had handled a back pass from a defender. Televised replays showed that the ball appeared to take a deflection off an Espanyol player, suggesting that the free kick should not have been given. Granadas tempers boiled over in the 82nd when substitute Odion Ighalo received back-to-back bookings, both for protesting to the referee. "It felt like an evenly-matched game and that we had to stay alert to take our chances," said Espanyol coach Javier Aguirre. "It looked like a sure 0-0 that could only be broken with an individual action, and thats where Manu Lanzarote was great." Mikus goal-scoring performance for Getafe helped ruin the debut of Osasunas new manager Javi Gracia, who replaced the fired Jose Mendilibar two weeks ago. Osasuna started brightly on the road in Madrid with Roberto Torres scoring in the 24th, but Miku headed in a corner kick that had sailed over goalkeeper Andres Fernandez to level in the 35th. After his acrobatic kick had sent the ball off the woodwork, Miku used a nifty touch to slip the ball under a defender before placing his second goal just inside the post in the 52nd, sending Getafe on its way to its first win of the season. Osasuna almost grabbed the draw when Oriol Riera hit the crossbar in the 85th, but it remained the only team yet to take a point in Spains topflight. Wholesale Mens Shoes China .
