Deportivo La Coruna 0 : 1 Atletico de Madrid - Aguero fires Atletico winner



I have a say

Posted Saturday, April 30, 2011 by PA

Sergio Aguero left it later than Atletico Madrid may have hoped, but he struck a crucial late winner in a 1-0 victory over struggling Deportivo La Coruna to rocket his side into the Europa League places.

The game looked to drifting towards a drab stalemate until the Argentina international pounced in the 80th minute, taking Juanfran's touch to net his 17th goal of the Primera League season.

As a result, Atletico are now fifth in the table, while their hosts, who lost Alberto Lopo to an 11th red card of his career, remain just three points above the drop zone.

Juan Rodriquez looked to get Depor up and running with an early shot from distance, before Andres Guardado brought a fine save out of David De Gea as the hosts impressed.

On-loan striker Xisco then warmed the keeper's palms with a header, before Aguero signalled his intent when he thumped the bar from outside the box.

Jose Antonio Reyes saw a goal chalked off for an offside committed by Aguero, as both sides resorted to shooting from distance.

Xisco drove over the bar after half-time, before Aguero got in the box, only to see Daniel Aranzubia equal to his low effort.

Diego Costa volleyed over for Depor and Aguero took aim from the edge of the area as both sides went in hunt of a goal, but the home side's chances were hindered just shy of the hour when Lopo received a second yellow card for a foul on Aguero.

Tomas Ujfalusi then forced Aranzubia to tip his strike around the post and time ticked away, before Aguero beat the keeper when he kept his composure from six yards out after Diego Forlan had linked up with Juanfran.

And despite a couple of lively balls into the box, Depor were unable to level things up.
