The shot was fast and at an awkward angle, and it was not far from the goal. After Moreno finished shooting, he felt that the goal was there.
However, goalkeeper Kameni was amazing today. He fell to the ground and made a sideways dive, and he just saved this must-goal.
Moreno held his head, with a look of disbelief on his face.
The 23-year-old Espanyol youth player felt the cruelty of La Liga again today.
Moreno returned to the Espanyol team from Villarreal because he thought that the home team had lost the two forwards of Garcia and Stuani, so that he would have a chance to advance.
Unexpectedly, the new chairman hired a Chinese player from the amateur league to become famous in the match against Real Madrid, replacing Stuani, and Asensio, who was on loan from Real Madrid, replaced the old captain Raul.
.Garcia's location.
Nowadays, Zhao Yang is the absolute main force of the Spaniard, forming a front trident with Asensio and Caicedo. His position is unshakable. Moreno can only compete with Caicedo for a forward position.
Caicedo has rich experience and is a veteran player of Espanyol. He cooperates well with his teammates. How can Moreno compete with him? Now he can only struggle on the bench.
This time Zhao Yang returned to China to play in the World Cup qualifiers and was physically tired, giving Moreno a chance to play.
In the first half, neither he nor Caicedo performed well, but the head coach replaced Caicedo and kept Moreno. Moreno knew why.
The head coach Sergio is a famous Spaniard. After Tamudo, he is the only Spaniard forward who is both a fan of the Parrots and a Catalan forward. Sergio has some feelings and hopes.
He can get on top.
Moreno cherished this opportunity. He hoped to score a goal and repay the coach's trust. Unfortunately, Kameni rejected his shot.
Malaga goalkeeper Kameni climbed up from the turf, clenched his fists and shouted.
He enjoyed the complete silence.
As a goalkeeper who has played for Espanyol for many years, Kameni has deep feelings for Espanyol.
It is precisely because of the deep relationship that Kameni came to the El Prat Stadium to play and he wanted to perform well. He wanted to let the Spaniards know that he was not old yet and that he could still guard the city gate for the Spaniards.
The pass was imaginative, the shot was beautiful, and the save was wonderful. Even if they didn't score, the fans at the scene still gave them warm applause.
The Spaniards got a chance for a corner kick, and Asensio took it.
Malaga's defense is so good, goalkeeper Kameni is in good condition, and set kicks are obviously the best weapon to score goals. Both Spaniard's two central defenders came to the penalty area to compete for headers.
Asensio saw that his opponent was focusing on the fight for a header in the penalty area, and he immediately made a gesture to his teammates. This gesture meant a tactical coordination.
The Espanyol players understood the situation clearly. The full-back Andy moved closer to Asensio. Zhao Yang stood at the front of the penalty area, as if he wanted to move forward to fight for the header. Other players also blocked in the penalty area as usual.
The referee blew the whistle and Asensio suddenly passed the ball back to full-back Andia.
Zhao Yang retreated, stopped suddenly, and quickly moved forward to meet him.
This was a simple fake run, but Malaga midfielder Tisone, who was closely guarding him in the blink of an eye, could only follow Zhao Yang back.
When Zhao Yang moved forward to meet him again, Tisone couldn't keep up and was almost two meters behind Zhao Yang.
Full-back Andy ignored Zhao Yang's fake move. He received Asensio's pass and directly passed the ground ball across.
But this time it was just right, Zhao Yang caught up with him in two steps. He didn't stop the ball, and he didn't have time to stop the ball. He turned half-turn and volleyed.
This is a kick to the ground!
There are many people and legs in the penalty area. Under normal circumstances, the ball is very likely to hit people's legs.
However, Zhao Yang's footwork was very smooth today, and his shot didn't touch anyone. It followed the only channel, passed through the crowd, and flew towards the goal.
There are so many people in the penalty area, and goalkeeper Kameni is not the tallest, so his line of sight is almost completely blocked. When the ball appears in Kameni's field of vision, it will be too late for Kameni to save it.
The ball almost flew past Kameni and into the net.
Kameni lay on the turf, hammering the turf hard, feeling annoyed.
Kameni felt that he was in excellent condition today, but he didn't expect to be defeated by luck.
If you let these two people shoot these two balls ten more times, I'm afraid they won't be able to hit the goal range even once.
But today they all turned into goals.
2:0
In the 57th minute of the game, Zhao Yang took advantage of a corner kick and scored with a volley, helping the Spaniard expand the score.
This is Zhao Yang's 10th goal.
After scoring this goal, Zhao Yang was only one goal away from Ronaldo and Suarez, who topped the scorer list.
After scoring the goal, Zhao Yang rushed to the sidelines, raised his arms and shouted.
The DJ at the scene shouted loudly: "goalgoalgoal... Zhao Yang! Shout to me together! Zhao Yang! Zhao Yang!"
All the Espanyol fans in the stands stood up, applauded, and chanted Zhao Yang's name in unison.
Espanyol head coach Sergio and his assistants high-fived each other. They were relieved. According to the pre-match analysis, Malaga's offensive power was very poor. After 11 rounds, they only scored more than two goals in one game.
field.
In other words, as long as the opponent scores 2 goals, Malaga will basically lose.
Malaga head coach Gracia shook his head helplessly. His luck has been really bad recently. Malaga actually defended very well, but the Spaniard's two goals were world-famous.
The second goal even went through a gap in the crowd, and the goalkeeper was basically unable to react.
Already two goals behind, there is no point in defending anymore. If you lose, just lose more heroically.
Malaga head coach Gracia stood up suddenly and called on Portuguese right winger Horta to warm up and strengthen the impact on the wing.
At the same time, let midfielder Recio warm up and prepare to replace midfielder Tisone, or lock up Zhao Yang with Tisone.
Five minutes later, Horta came on to replace Pablo and strengthen the attack on the wing.
Horta is the international player of the Portuguese youth team. He started playing in the Portuguese Super League at the age of 18. He scored 7 goals last season and is the future star of Malaga.
Horta is young, fast and has good physical fitness. After he came on, the Spaniard's left wing was immediately tight, and full-back Lubis was suppressed for almost half a game.
Fortunately, the Espanyol team doesn't need full-backs to attack now. They just need to defend well. Lubis simply stopped stepping forward to assist.
Although Horta created some shooting opportunities from the wing, the Malaga forward was too overwhelmed, and the attack was only thunder without rain, which did not pose much threat to Spanish goalkeeper Lopez.
