A 1-0 in the first leg of any tie is never a good result for the visitors. However, in Malaga can be happy with that narrow defeat in their match against Porto. Because even though Moutinho was slightly ahead in the winning goal, which showed superiority whole Pereira on Pellegrini was so pronounced, that the result falls short to reflect the difference between the two.
The Málaga in La Rosaleda shall demonstrate that this difference was due to a bad day here, or very good by the Portuguese. Although the vast image that gave the premises is not the result of any accident. Porto are a club that has proven over the years that has a working copy structure, maintaining a very distinct style and homogeneous despite season after season to sell their best players. To replace them, new players get a youth directly proportional to its quality.
From the first whistle in the 90th minute, the superiority of the Málaga Oporto was tangible at all levels, but especially physically and tactically. The Pellegrini failed to deploy at any time their football, because Porto were forced to take the ball off before being stolen in these areas of maximum danger. The connection between lines was impossible, Santa Cruz and Baptista-odd choice of Chilean coach-were isolated, while Isco and Joaquin, heeled in bands, were surrounded by several opponents before even being able to lift his head. Danilo and Alex Sandro was a nightmare for both in defense and attack all Malaga.
Moutinho, meanwhile, emerged as master of the game. Pretending to note both the ball at his feet as without it, as demonstrated in his excellent addition to the attack on the play of the goal. Although it is a player that we have long been hearing about, yet is 26 and is scratching at the highest level of his career. The next season, it would be logical that we saw him jump into one of the top European clubs.
As we said at the beginning of the post, the best for Malaga was so obvious that one only superiority was reflected with a goal margin. This is because it fits within the rear defended pretty good level, despite the headaches that Jackson Martinez submitted a more accurate without the ball than with it.
We'll see if for the second leg Pellegrini knows adjust equipment to the features conducive to slow his rival. Tracing the tie is possible, but is by not conceding goals. A simple both the Portuguese forces the Malaga to score three. The thing is complicated, because the Andalusian is a brilliant team in the retreat but the speed of Porto attackers to force the defenses against malacitanos to give the maximum. However, in its short history in the Champions League and La Rosaleda has lived historical night ... who knows what can happen in three weeks?
