joaquín missed a first-half penalty but then scored the winner as málaga secured their third straight group c victory without conceding a goal.
málaga cf continued their remarkable start to life in the uefa champions league with a 1-0 victory against seven-time european champions ac milan.
joaquín's penalty miss looked like it could be costly but, as on saturday against real valladolid cf, the spanish international bounced back from his spot-kick setback with a second-half winner. manuel pellegrini's team have now won all three of their group c games without conceding a goal and are five points clear at the summit.
however, it was not all plain sailing. perhaps it was the enormity of a night many considered the most historic in the andalusian club's history, perhaps it was the slick pitch and heavy rain which poured down from just after kick-off, but málaga began nervously. the style of play lauded by joaquín in the build-up became forced and lacking in precision.
milan not only pushed three men forward in the initial stages yet offered a further threat with full-back mattia de sciglio overlapping down the right. ıt was a ploy to look for an early goal and, combined with energetic pressing, made life difficult for the hosts.
ıt all meant that 30 minutes passed before there was a proper opportunity, stephan el shaarawy spurning the chance after deceiving jesús gámez. then, finally, málaga sparked into life. twice joaquín roamed down the right and cut back for ısco to shoot. the first attempt, in the 34th minute, was too high, but the second, not long afterwards, skidded towards the bottom corner of marco amelia's net. the goalkeeper needed to be at full stretch to tip it wide.
on the stroke of half-time málaga's pressure should have resulted in the lead. a clever francisco portillo back-heel had gámez surging into the box, only for kévin constant to barge him over. entrusted with spot-kick duty despite his weekend miss against valladolid, joaquín was this time denied by the bar.
málaga kept their tails up throughout the second period. ısco sent javier saviola into the area and only a tremendously timed, if risky, intervention from daniele bonera denied him a goal. when the opener did arrive in the 64th minute, it was worth the wait. joaquín sprinted forward, released to manuel ıturra, received the ball back and finished via amelia's right-hand post.
eliseu's effort might have added to the scoreline had it been marginally lower, though the key late action came at the other end. willy saved superbly from el shaarawy's fierce shot with five minutes left and philippe mexès blazed wide from close range.
joaquín, málaga winger we are fairy-tale winners. we deserved the victory. ıt is the first time something like this has happened at málaga. we know we are making history.
massimiliano allegri, milan coach ı trust my players and in the uefa champions league we are still in good position to qualify. we have not been lucky recently.
şampiyonlar ligi’ne çok iyi bir başlangıç yapan malaga, sezonun hayal kırıklığı yaratan ekipleri arasında yer alan milan ile karşılaştı.
la rosaleda stadı’nda ilk yarıdan gol sesi gelmedi. konuk milan, acerbi ve el shaarawy gibi isimlerle yakaladığı gol pozisyonlarını değerlendiremedi. ev sahibi malaga ise ısco’nun uzak mesafeli şutlarıyla gol aradı ve demichelis ile mutlak bir fırsattan yararlanamadı.
ikinci yarının başında saviola ile iki önemli gol tehlikesi yaratan
malaga, 64. dakikada joaquin ile öne geçmeyi başardı. manuel ıturra’nın ara pasıyla sağ çaprazdan ceza sahasına giren joaquin, kaleci amelia’yı avlamayı başardı.
ceza sahası dışından attığı şutlardan istediği sonucu alamayan milan, 70. dakikada giampaolo pazzini ile mutlak bir gol pozisyonundan yararlanamadı. maçta başka gol olmazken, malaga galibiyet serisini sürdürdü.
malaga bu galibiyetle puanını 9’a yükseltirken, milan 4 puanda kaldı.
