Barcelona lost 1-2 to Real Madrid in an away game, which made everyone at Atletico Madrid feel very excited.
At 20:00 on the evening of March 3, with the referee's whistle, the 26th round of the 2012/2013 La Liga season between Atlético Madrid and Malaga officially began.
Malaga currently ranks fourth in the standings, second only to Real Madrid, and their results are quite strong.
However, the points gap between fifth-place Valencia and them is not big, and Malaga's fourth-place Champions League spot is not guaranteed.
Therefore, even if they face the terrifying Atletico Madrid in this game, Malaga is determined to score points. Of course, tactically they will not attack Atletico Madrid. Although this is their home court, they still chose to shrink their defense quite pragmatically.
, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
Malaga's defense did a good job and kept the score 0-0 for more than half an hour, but in the end, Qiao Anchen was unable to completely defend himself against all kinds of skills.
In the 37th minute, Malaga's defense made a mistake. First, Joan Chen broke through a midfielder with a wall collision, and then used Matthews to dodge a central defender. Then, he was about 27 meters away from the goal outside the penalty area.
There was a heavy cannon shot from a long distance.
The ball rose into the air and flew towards Malaga's goal like a cannonball.
The closest defender tried to block the hole, but failed and failed to touch the ball.
The goalkeeper wanted to fly to save the ball, but failed to encounter this fast and awkward heavy artillery world wave.
The ball finally escaped the goalkeeper's fingers and blasted into the Malaga gate.
Qiao Anchen opened the scoring, helping Atletico Madrid lead 1-0 away from home, and refreshed his La Liga scoring record to 46 consecutive games. This season, the individual scoring record in La Liga in a single season was refreshed to 58 goals.
At the same time, this is Qiao Anchen's 99th La Liga goal, only one short of breaking the 100-goal mark.
The commentators all shouted excitedly:
“goooooooooooooooooooooooal…”
"Qiao Anchen used a long-range shot to help Atlético Madrid score, and the Shenlian team led 1-0 away from home."
"And Qiao Anchen also broke his La Liga consecutive scoring record again, raising the consecutive scoring record to 46 games."
"At the same time, he also refreshed his La Liga single-season personal scoring record to 58 goals, which is not far from the 60 mark."
"In addition, Qiao Anchen also increased his total number of La Liga goals to 99, just one short of reaching the 100 mark."
"It would take other forwards three or four years to score 100 league goals, even if they are very efficient."
"As a result, it only took Qiao Anchen less than two years to reach the 100-goal mark soon."
"With such efficiency, Atletico Madrid is really making a fortune."
Qiao Anchen celebrated with his teammates for a while, returned to his own half, and let Malaga take the ball in the circle.
After the game restarted, Malaga, which was lagging behind, did not rush to attack in an attempt to equalize the score. They still stayed in the backcourt and counterattacked when they had the opportunity.
Therefore, neither side made any achievements in the last period of the first half, and the first half ended with a score of 0-1.
After a 15-minute intermission, the side changed sides and the battle resumed in the second half. Malaga finally strengthened their attack. But at the same time, their backcourt gaps were naturally exposed, leaving Joan Anchen and his teammates more space to counterattack.
.
In the 59th minute, Malaga made a passing error in their counterattack after getting the ball, and Atletico Madrid intercepted the ball and counterattacked.
After Qiao Anchen got the ball on the right side of the midfield, he was surrounded by three Malaga players, so he did not force his way through alone, but distributed the ball to the center in time.
Diego Costa caught the ball and attracted an interception from the last defensive player, then pushed the ball straight into the gap behind the defender.
Falcao jumped in at high speed from the left, received the ball and formed a single shot to counter offside, and then entered the penalty area and volleyed into the near corner to score, leaving the goalkeeper helpless.
Atletico Madrid leads 2-0 away from home and basically seals the victory.
After taking a two-goal lead, Simeone first used up a substitution and let main defender Felipe Luis take a rest.
When trailing 0-1, Málaga was still able to hold on. Now that they are two goals behind, Málaga cannot hold on.
With the gap between two goals, if we don't strengthen our attack, we are basically surrendering and there is no way we can get it back. Therefore, Malaga replaced two players in a row and stepped up their attack in the following period.
However, their offensive was still unable to break through Atletico Madrid's defense. Instead, the Shelters got the ball in the 77th minute and launched a quick counterattack. Finally, Qiao Anchen took the ball in the midfield and pushed the ball directly into the frontcourt.
, then moved forward at high speed and bypassed the last two defenders, catching up with the ball he poked out, forming a single shot, and finally faced the attacking goalkeeper and scored with a lob, sending the ball into Malaga's goal.
This is Atletico Madrid's third goal in this game. Atletico Madrid completely sealed the victory 3-0 away from home.
This is also Qiao Anchen's second goal in this game. He scored twice again, setting his La Liga single-season goal record to 59, just one short of breaking the 60 mark.
In addition, this is also Qiao Anchen's 100th La Liga goal.
Commentators from various countries all said excitedly:
"Qiao Anchen scored his 100th La Liga goal."
"Except for the games he was suspended and missed, Qiao Anchen scored goals in all La Liga games he participated in, setting a world record of scoring in 46 consecutive top-level league games."
"100 goals were scored in only 46 games, with an average goal rate of more than 2 goals per game. This is an unprecedented achievement in football."
"Among all records with more than 100 goals, no one is more efficient than Qiao Anchen."
"Even Gerd Muller, Leo Messi, etc. are far behind."
"I always have a feeling that maybe Qiao Anchen will break Sala's La Liga personal total goal record of 251 goals sooner than Messi or Ronaldo, and become the top scorer in La Liga history."
Considering that we have now reached the sprint stage at the end of the season, and Atletico Madrid's bench is not as thick as Real Madrid, Barcelona and other super giants, the physical fitness of the main players still needs to be protected.
Therefore, when the score became 3-0, Simeone used the remaining two substitutions one after another, letting the main players take a rest and the substitute players also came on to get a feel for the game.
Neither side scored again at the end of the game. With Joan Chen's brace and Falcao's goal, Atletico Madrid beat Malaga 3-0 away and won the 26th round of the league.
