Since neither team had committed many fouls in the first half of the game, and no players had injuries that required medical attention, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half just after 45 minutes of play.

Although they knew that their strength was inferior, the Malaga team, which was unwilling to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat on their home turf, replaced a defender and a defensive midfielder with a striker and an attacking midfielder at the beginning of the second half.

Because there is still a Copa del Rey final against Valencia in 4 days, in order to preserve his strength, Diego Simeone replaced forward center forward Diego Costa with Mario Suarez just five minutes into the second half, and then put Griezmann, who had just made his debut in this game, to the front. At the same time, it also returned Feng Quan to the winger position he was most familiar with.

In addition to the personnel adjustments, except for Griezmann and Fengquan in the front line, the rest of the Atletico Madrid players were all withdrawn to their own half of the field under the instruction of Diego Simeone to play their best defensive counter-attack.

The overall strength of the Malaga team is not far from Atletico Madrid, and in the case of the opponent's large retreat, they not only failed to recover the disadvantage in the score, but were used by the Atletico Madrid team to use a quick counterattack to widen the gap in the score.

In the 17th minute of the second half, Gabi and Mario Suarez combined to break the ball together and then sent a pass over the top into the defensive vacuum on the left side of the field.

The high-speed Feng unloaded the ball with his chest and burst forward along the left touchline, cutting inside to the edge of the box when he came to the corner of the box.

At the same time, Griezmann, who had been inserted into the middle of the penalty area at high speed, moved sideways to the space on the right side of the penalty area.

Just when the defenders of the Malaga team thought that Feng Quan would once again use his long-range skills to get closer to his position, Feng Quan used the outside of his right foot to roll a flat cross towards the far end of the penalty area.

The ball flew in a clear arc in mid-air to the far end of the penalty area, and after being unloaded by Griezmann with his chest, he immediately slammed the ball into the top left corner of the goal with his left foot, 2-0.

Thirteen minutes later, Griezmann received a through ball from Koke on the right side of the pitch and slotted diagonally towards the Malaga penalty area.

However, when he got rid of the entanglement of two opponents with his speed advantage and dribbled to a position five or six meters away from the opponent's penalty area, he was tackled to the ground from behind the side by Camacho, who had been chasing closely.

Since Griezmann was the only goalkeeper Caballero in front of him, the referee on duty awarded Atletico Madrid a well-placed free kick, and then showed Camacho a "red envelope is a card" to the fouling Camacho.

Despite the shrill boos from the stands at the Rose Garden, the reaction of the Malaga players on the pitch was not too violent. After all, as professional players, they know very well that Camacho's foul of "deliberately destroying the opponent's obvious scoring opportunity" this time will not escape a red card at all.

…………

Because the distance between the foul and the goal of the Malaga team was almost 30 meters in a straight line, and the position was slightly to the right, the goalkeeper Caballero only stood in front of the foul site by Juanmi and Eliseu, listing a symbolic human wall, and the rest of the players all retreated to the vicinity of the penalty area to defend with the top man.

Under normal circumstances, a free kick like this that is far away from the goal and is somewhat on the right side is hoisted in by captain Gabi or playmaker Koke in the middle of the game, and then the player in the middle of the field grabs the point.

However, just after Gabi set the ball steadily, Feng Quan, who should have entered the penalty area to grab the point, came over and expressed his hope that he could take the free kick slightly to the left of this position.

Although Feng Quan has joined Atletico Madrid for less than half a year, his wonderful performances in previous games have already been recognized by the vast majority of his teammates. Therefore, even though Gabi was the number one free-kick handpicked by Diego Simeone, Gabi did not hesitate to give up this opportunity when he saw the confident look on Fengquan's face.

Although Feng Quan had used direct free kicks to score in previous games, because he was not a left-footed player, the Malaga goalkeeper subconsciously thought that Feng Quan would have a good chance of choosing to cross. Even if Feng Quan chooses to shoot directly, he will most likely use a curling ball to hit the top right corner of the goal.

Caballero then moved two steps forward from the goal line after having Antunes stand on Eliseu's left side to widen the wall, so he was ready to intercept the cross.

When the referee blew the whistle to signal that he could start the free throw, Feng Quan first did a few small high leg raises on the spot before starting to run forward.

Goalkeeper Caballero, who originally thought that Feng Quan would choose to pass the ball to the penalty area, suddenly had a bad premonition after seeing Feng Quan's running action.

"Could it be that this Chinese can't shoot directly? But judging from his somewhat right-sided running spot, he can't shoot inward? Is it ......?"

Just as Caballero was speculating on his choice, Feng Quan, who had completed the run, had already raised his right leg high, then swung it forward, and then his tight straight right instep slammed into the soccer ball like a whip.

The next moment, the football kicked out by the wind made a "bang——! After a muffled sound, it whizzed away with a strong spin in the direction of the left bottom line.

However, just when Caballero thought that Feng Quan's long-distance free kick would fly directly off the bottom line and let his guard down, the football suddenly drew an extremely obvious arc in mid-air, grazing the junction of the goal post and the crossbar and drilling into the Malaga goal.

At the moment when the football crashed into the net and fell into the door, Diego Simeone, who has always been passionate, actually held his head in his hands and looked incredulous at the same time.

Not only that, but until Caballero picked up the ball from inside the goal with a helpless look and drove the ball forward, the home fans still didn't want to believe what was happening in front of them.

"It's unbelievable that the football, which was about to fly off the bottom line, turned into the goal of the Malaga team like a miracle." CCTV sports commentator He Wei shouted excitedly.

"Feng Quan's free-kick goal reminded me of the out-of-the-box goal scored by Robert Carlos in the 1997 Confederations Cup."

Since the Malaga team is not as strong as Atletico Madrid, the confidence that they can maintain the equalizer when they are behind depends entirely on the support of the fans at the scene.

However, Feng Quan's free-kick goal completely destroyed the fighting spirit of the Malaga players.
