Málaga beat Intercity in La Rosaleda and is fully involved in the race to unseat the Castellon y al Ibiza, which has lost almost all of its advantage. And also to Córdoba, which is already second. Ivan Ania was in the stands. There is a direct duel that could mark the outcome of the season in First RFEF. However, it is difficult to focus on football on a day when the most important thing is the state of health of Dioni Villalba.
Humanity has to move ahead of something as trivial as football after all. He will surely clench his fist when he knows that the team has won and some tears of emotion will fall when he knows how his teammates and fans chanted his name until moments before emptying the stands. From there you can talk about what the meeting was like.
When one believes that Málaga’s eleven is recited on the fly, it comes Pellicer and move the tree. He insists on the concept of management and blessed the problem of having to discard, finally, even in the lists. Before him Intercity It was anything but predictable. He left on the bench Blacksmith, Gabilondo and also to the recovered Roberto (Kevin was out due to injury, hence Avilés’ ownership).
The plan worked well for the first 45 minutes. He Intercity They tried to start by pressing up, but it was not the uncomfortable team of the first round. Merit of Málaga, dynamic and focused, bossy in large sections and who accumulated serious danger arrivals. The Malaguistas took turns trying to penetrate the team’s defense. Sandroniwho had the demons in his band.
One after another, Málaga threatened the goal of Gaizka Campos. William he stole one almost from the goal mouth Dioni, which showed his hunger to score in front of his audience. He would need a bit more luck from the man from Malaga a couple of times. A good filtration left only Garbage, who avoided the offside but had no fangs in a one-on-one match. The 17th caught the rebound but his furious shot hit a defender.
Campos would be the savior of his team at 20 minutes in a shot from Genaro from outside the area. Another little pigeon that left the ball at the feet of Dioniwho finished off the short post and watched as the Intercity goalkeeper pulled his feet to send it for a corner.
Málaga did not despair, they continued and continued. Sometimes on the side of Puga and Larrubia, both very combative and with a red arrow. Others for the clairvoyance of Manu Molina and Dani Lorenzo, engines of this equipment. And in some cases due to the good footing of Víctor García and an Avilés troublemaker who sometimes lacked some pause and better decision making.
There weren’t too many problems for Alfonso Herrero beyond the uncertainty that set pieces always generate. Only on the brink of half-time did Nsue try from outside and the contact with a defender was able to catch the Malaguista goalkeeper with the wrong foot, who reacted quickly.
The teams returned to the field without changing much, until in the 50th minute, a magnificent chance for the blue and white Dani Lorenzo y Dioni They went to the auction and the man from Malaga collided with a rival. The striker remained motionless on the grass and Gaizka Campos He jumped like a spring to urgently ask for assistance. The goalkeeper put his hands on his head, several players from both teams wandered around scared. The distress was general, six-seven minutes that seemed eternal until finally the ambulance took the striker away – conscious – and the stadium chanted his name. The man from Marbella, not so bad off, also hurt his finger a bit.
I enter Roberto, also applauded by his audience, and as soon as he entered he forgave in a very clear one-on-one after an exquisite pass from Manu Molina to avoid the offside. He Intercity He also wanted to go for the game and began to leave some more spaces that Málaga knew how to take advantage of. But it was Dani Lorenzo who made the differences. The man from Marbella, with the ball sewn to his boot, entered the area like Isco or Iniesta. In the definition, Campos put a saving foot, but there was Roberto, of pescaero, to finish the job. “Dioni, Dioni!”, he dedicated the stadium after the ecstasy.
He Intercity He went all out seeing that Málaga was better but was not capable of killing the game. The referee gave 11 minutes, something expected. And the visitors did not tie because Alfonso Herrero He dressed as a saint. Nsue headed a ball at the far post from point-blank range that the goalkeeper stopped and he got off of me while his body went towards the goal. The doubt remained, but First RFEF there is no VAR. In the subsequent throw-in it was another miracle that they did not equalize. Victor Garcia He was also providential in some clearances.
He resisted the Malacitan team with stoicism and that point of fortune that teams have when the wind blows in their favor. He also played the role of The Rose Garden, which he held relentlessly until the final whistle.
