Málaga played host to Granada on Monday evening and this local derby ended in a comfortable 4-0 win.
Cazorla opened the scoring after just four minutes and Joaquín added another about midway through the first half. Cazorla grabbed his second of the night just after the restart and Joaquín, not to be oudone, followed suit in the 73rd minute.
The Blue and Whites move up to eighth place while Granada prop up La Liga in last position.
