Special day in Martiricos. Beforehand, a minute of silence was observed in memory of Fernando Puche, historic president of the Club, passed away today. A date on which the Martiricos stadium turned 83 years old (first official match) and on which the goal-scoring hero of the last promotion to the First Division in 07/08, Antonio Hidalgo, returned to the helm of the SD Huesca bench. Fondo Sur 1904, in the 8th minute of play, dedicated some affectionate songs to him.
On the pitch, Pellicer only made one change to his starting eleven compared to the previous match in Córdoba. Ochoa replaced Dani Lorenzo, in the playmaker position behind the striker. A former Malaga player, Joaquín Muñoz, could have put Huesca ahead in the early stages of the match after a defensive lapse by the white and blues. The response, already in the 17th minute, was a poisonous shot from Dioni in the area that was deflected by Dani Jiménez.
Antoñito, in the 28th minute, could have scored in a trademark quick counterattack. On the other side of the attack, the right, a determined Yanis Rahmani made his return to La Rosaleda with a change of foot. In the 33rd minute, the French-Algerian had the 1-0 with a shot from point-blank range that Jiménez again cleared. In the final moments of the first half, Málaga increased its pace, being especially sharp on the wings, with the additions of the full-backs Dani Sánchez and Puga.
Before the break, play by Antoñito Cordero that leads to a cross for Dioni, who in a tough fight with a defender helps the ball enter the net (1-0, 42′). Alfonso Herrero, shortly after, avoided a Olympic goal Sielva made a good save. At half-time, Pellicer’s men were ahead.
The Antoñito-Dioni connection, already in the second half, generated danger in a free kick (54′) close to the Huesca goal. In the wide area, Luismi grew, impeccable in crossing and solvent in the construction together with Manu Molina. In the 62nd minute, amid applause, Dioni left his place on the field to Baturina.
Málaga controlled the tempo of the match, while Huesca looked dangerous in set pieces with former Atlético Malagueño player Óscar Sielva as a spearhead. Pellicer again made a double change with fifteen minutes remaining: Haitam and Juanpe, for Yanis and Ochoa.
In the final minutes, another double substitution for the Malaga team. Haitam, visibly injured, and Manu Molina were replaced by Izan Merino and Sergio Castel. In the 88th minute, Castel touched the ball first, sending a header off the crossbar. In stoppage time, Joaquín, on the rebound of a free kick taken by Sielva, had the chance to equalise, but he sent it wide.
Final whistle and the 1-0 gives three more points in the table to the Málaga CF, who remain unbeaten after five games with two wins, both at the Blanquiazul fortress, and three draws, nine points to remain in the top tier of LaLiga Hypermotion. Let’s go, Malaga!
