Real Zaragoza Coach Marcelino Not Happy With Draw Against Malaga
He says his side should have taken all three points...
Zaragoza lead through a Ewerthon spot-kick shortly after the break but were pegged back by an Ivan Rodriguez with just quarter of an hour remaining.
"When we were 1-0 up we had simple chances which we failed to take. We were worth more than a point and for the majority of the 90 minutes we did enough to win, especially in the closing stages," he declared.
"We're not happy with the draw, but we had the right attitude and adapted to a situation which was not normal. The draw falls short of what we deserved."
Marcelino also remarked that the sendings off, one on either side, and the physical nature of the game was a result of a strong desire to win from both teams and was no fault of the referee.
"It was a product of the nerves, there was some confrontation but I do not think the referee has done wrong. Malaga and ourselves needed to win," he declared.
