MADRID (Reuters) - Sevilla's La Liga campaign got off to a stuttering start when their new midfielder Steven Nzonzi was sent off midway through the second half as they were held to a 0-0 draw at Andalusian rivals Malaga on Friday.

In a generally disappointing opening match of the season in Spain's top flight, with few moments of real quality, Sevilla had the better of the first half at the Rosaleda but wasted what chances they created.
