Despite the result at the Vicente Calderón (4-2), the closest precedent in LaLiga Santander, we’re looking at the positives, such as scoring twice against Atlético de Madrid, who have only conceded four goals in nine games this season. Oblak, the current ‘Zamora’, of the competition hasn’t let in two League goals at home since 12th September 2015 (1-2 against FC Barcelona).
The goal-scorers on the banks of the Manzanares, Sandro and Camacho, scored for the second consecutive match. The Canaries-born striker is the Blue and Whites’ ‘pichichi’ in LaLiga with four goals, and is in the Top-6 of players with the most shots at goal per game, averaging 3’1. The Zaragoza-born midfielder, a specialist at netting goals from headers, is in the Top-2 of the current squad in goals scored (14) in the First Division, behind leader, Duda (35).
In the last match at La Rosaleda, the major 4-0 victory against Leganés saw the home side defeat one of the best away teams of the competition (arriving in Málaga with three victories out of four away games). This was the ninth time MCF has won by 4-0 in the First Division, a team who has already accumulated 14 goals (1’4 per match).
Malagueño, a cannon
Atlético Malagueño are enjoying a sensational goal-filled start to the season. Out of 11 matches in Third Division Group IX, Manel Ruano’s boys (third place, 24 points) have scored a total of 33 goals, an average of three per match. At home, the goal-scoring power has been extraordinary, with standout wins against Maracena (4-1), Dos Hermanas San Andrés (5-0), Alhaurín de la Torre (7-0) and yesterday against Martos (5-1).
