After Marshal Demichelis broke the ball, he knocked the ball back to Muris behind him for the first time.
Napoli was chaotic at half-time, the players who were squeezed in the middle did not realize that the ball had been broken, and the defenders of both sides in front of the penalty area were pushing and squeezing, grabbing advantageous positions.
Muurice saw the moment and slotted a precise shot to the side of his body and toe to the ball as Cazorla ran to the edge of the box.
This position has always been Cazorla's favourite, and the timing of this ball is also very delicate.
As soon as the Napoli defender was thrown away by Cazorla, another defender stepped up and left a gap in the goal behind him, and Murice immediately sent a pass that Cazorla won as expected. Just along that defensive gap, he pushed a beautiful sweep into the net.
The away fans who followed and screamed for the goal.
Just 16 minutes before Napoli's goal, Malaga not only locked up Hamsik, defused the crisis up front, but also managed to equalise with Napoli.
When it comes to toughness, Malaga is no different!
And this goal, which seems to be ordinary, has a lot of wisdom hidden inside!
First of all, Murice's pass, whether it is the timing, strength, judgment, or understanding of his teammates, can be described as perfect and impeccable.
Then there is Cazorla, the nose in front of goal and the ability to catch opportunities are almost instinctive. In Malaga and in the national team, he was often played in midfield, so much so that many characterised the Spain international as a midfielder. In fact, Cazorla was born as an orthodox winger.
Whether it's a breakthrough or a shot, the ability is outstanding.
In the thirtieth minute of the first half, Chena Mouris Málaga assisted, and Cazorla scored to tie Napoli. The score is 1:1, with the home team in front and the away team in the back.
In the 34th minute, the Napoli defender made a mistake in the return pass, and Dosena stepped in to shoot before the goalkeeper got the ball but it was wide. One minute later, Cavani's right-footed volley from outside the box went wide.
Although Cavani shot wide, he was once again in Malaga's sights.
It's time, the soul of Napoli's hardcore style of play.
Edinson Cavani can defend set-pieces in his own penalty area one second and threaten the next second. He is a leading figure in the Napoli team, and under the influence of Cavani, Hamsik, Maggio and Campagnaro can play well, and he is a player who can give his teammates energy boost.
Cavani has the nickname of a matador, and his tall, strong and handsome figure and long curly hair are very intimidating to his opponents.
He, along with Ravic and Hamsik, form Serie A's most formidable front trident. Here, Edinson Cavani returned to his preferred centre-forward role and helped him reach the peak of his career.
As a striker, Edinson Cavani can play as a winger or centre-forward, with a physical advantage, good technique at his feet and a wide range of movement. He can open the bow on the left and right, has superb shooting skills, is very stable in protecting and receiving the ball, and can also make balls for his teammates, which is a relatively well-rounded attacker, which is also very suitable for his role in the team.
Although Hamsik was targeted by Malaga, with him and Ravitch on the front line, Malaga still had no ease.
After Hamsik's flushing space was constantly compressed, Cavani began to run wide and join the ranks of aggressive scrambling to break the status quo.
Ravic arrived in Napoli in the summer of 2007 and became an icon at the Stadio São Paulo with his outstanding performances, and was dubbed the "New Malagadona" by the fans.
In the 2011/12 season, Ravic scored in key matches such as the Coppa Italia final, Juventus and Chelsea in the Champions League. His performances helped Napoli win the Coppa Italia and reach the last 16 of the Champions League, while he formed the 'Trident' of Edinson Cavani and Hamsik to shock the Apennines.
Ravic has perfect speed and explosiveness, penetrating the opposition goal, making it difficult for defenders to defend against him.
With his astonishing dribbling skills and speed, he often dribbles the ball from midfield straight to the heart of the opposition.
He was very active on the pitch and dropped back very deep in order to get the ball. But his performance was also considered by many fans to be too positive and missed his original position. And in front of the penalty area, he was seen as selfish by his teammates and fans more than once.
To a large extent, the difference between Ravitch and Cavani lies here. Cavani is more selfless and more of a leader in the minds of his team-mates. Ravitch's style of play is lonely, and the tacit understanding with his teammates is not as good as that of Cavani, who joined the team late, and there are often situations where he does not cooperate well with his teammates on the field.
But that doesn't stop Ravic from being a great player.
To completely dismantle this Serie A powerhouse, it is natural to think about these two main strikers and leaders.
But just stopping the striker's firepower, not to mention the cost is too great, and Malaga may accidentally capsize the ship itself. It is still necessary to think about their cooperation, and only by grasping the overall situation can we not be attacked by the enemy.
After Hamsik was hampered, Ravic and Edinson Cavani dropped back to win the ball, and Zuniga was an attacking midfielder who drove the ball onto the pitch. This chain of attack, which was broken by Malaga, was continued.
And the backfield Aronica, Junior Cavanaro and Campaialo also held up strongly under the continuous penetration of Malaga's defensive forces. And it is getting stronger and stronger, giving full play to the bloody and fierce style of the ball.
The Napoli exclusion zone is still their own world.
But it has to be said that Málaga also has a part to play in this situation. Perhaps it should be said that it was Malaga who gave up the scramble and game in the penalty area for a while, and retreated outside the penalty area.
In this game, Malaga has to make sand, pervasive into the sand that drifts in the wind. Naples, on the other hand, is a high-speed machine. The sand is stuck in one place, between the gears of the Naples machine, and it can't turn.
At least, it doesn't turn as smoothly as you want.
Flexibility is the new style of the Malaga team, and it sounds like writing prose, but that's how it is now.
And the premise or foundation for doing all this comes from Murice's confident passing!
Napoli's front line was very long, the strikers retreated deeply, and the defenders cut in, giving full play to the uninhibited style of play.
However, under the continuous penetration and guidance of the Malaga players, Napoli's unbridled style of play was like being pinched by the throat.
In the 39th minute, Luque received a pass from Joaquín on the left side of the penalty area and volleyed with his right foot, and De Sanctis took the ball down.
A minute later, the elusive king of the penalty area, Ruud van Nistelrooy, threatened the Napoli goal once again with a sharp break from outside the box.
Unfortunately, the ball was kicked to Napoli defender Aronica and was subsequently kicked off the line.
A machine running at high speed, once out of orbit, is not far from failure.
Málaga's sand strategy worked wonders, with Napoli in front of goal in danger. Mazari, who had been calm before, finally showed anxiety on his face.
He wants time to stop and he wants the first half to pass quickly so they have time to adjust.
But Málaga didn't miss such a good opportunity and in the final four or five minutes they began to bombard the Napoli goal.
Now, it's a good time for them to score! They can't be given time to breathe, and if they can't hold on to their advantage in the first half, then Napoli will be chased more fiercely in the second half!
It is very likely that the indiscriminate bombing will hit the right one, but under the impetuousness, it will often be substandard. The players in Malaga are starting to get impatient, and they all want to score a goal in the last few minutes.
However, the goal was delayed.
On the other hand, in the face of the bombardment of Malaga, the Napoli players were all in front of the goal. No matter who gets the ball, the other players rush up. They are known for their ferocity, and all kinds of collisions and shovels are not fouls, but they will make the opponent miserable.
One by technique and the other by physique, the Malaga players are no match for Napoli in terms of physical collisions, but their passing and dribbling can also cause headaches for Napoli.
In such a high-pressure situation, Napoli had no time to think, and could only rely on instinct to carry out a tackle on all the players with the ball. The Málaga players, although they did not dare to play Napoli head-on, would use all kinds of delicate toe dribbling and skills to pass the ball as soon as they saw them pounce.
Napoli were in disarray up front, and the two sides showed no signs of weakness. Malaga is desperately looking for a shot on goal, and Napoli is struggling to the end!
As the minutes ticked by, Málaga shot all the way back to the goal they had been dreaming of.
Muris looked at the chaos in front of him and had already decided to make a move.
This is a goal that cannot be missed.
But just as Muris made a move, Ruud van Nistelrooy fell to the ground.
In the 44th minute of the first half, Gargano fouled Vanney in the penalty area and received a yellow card, and the referee awarded a penalty at the same time!
As soon as this conclusion came out, the São Paulo Stadium was in an uproar.
And this penalty is likely to break the current deadlock on the field. Just a minute before the end of the first half, Malaga was awarded a penalty at this time!
Such a result makes Napoli have no way to accept it!
Although they also knew that Gargano did commit a foul, it was reasonable to award a penalty.
The players and the manager still protested to the referee, but the referee Lauren Fabi was very fair! Even though it was Napoli's home stadium, he bravely awarded Malaga a penalty!
Malaga fans applaud Lauren Fabi for his justice.
And they are also curious, who will take the penalty in Malaga?
It's Ruud van Nisso, the king of the small penalty area, needless to say, this penalty was also won because of him, and he has no opinion on the penalty.
But Vanney shook his head, because half of his foot was still numb from the collision just now, and he was worried that it would affect his accuracy.
In the end, it was Chena Muris who took the penalty. 166 Reading Network
