Atlético Madrid 2 - 1 Málaga - Att 42,000
1-0 R. Falcao 6'
1-1 R. Santa Cruz 36'
2-1 Weligton (OG) 90'

Atletico left it very late to win all 3 points in a tough game on Sunday night against Malaga.
Falcao was the hero once again for Los Indios scoring the opening goal after just 6 minutes but the
away side who had plenty of possession equalised through Santa Cruz on 36' and it finished 1-1 at the break.
It looked like both sides were going to earn a point until an own goal on 90' minutes finally gave Diego Simeone's team the victory.

Any comments?

Should Falcao be awarded Atletico Madrid's 2nd or was it an own goal? - I think they should give it to the Columbian but I am biased!
