Gracia delighted with ‘historic’ win

Javi Gracia highlighted the 'historic' nature of Malaga's 1-0 victory at Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday.

Sergi Darder's 21st-minute strike earned the Andalucians a first-ever win at La Riazor, and the Coach commended his team for their never-say-die attitude towards dispelling the curse.

"It's a very elaborate, historic and valuable victory because we had never won here before. The team worked valiantly," he told reporters after the match.

"There were injuries, yet the team continued to work to the fullest and do things right.

"The defenders also defended well until the end. We imposed ourselves on them, and I think we tried so hard, even if it was difficult.

"I think we had some other clear chances, like Duda's shot which went wide of the near post.

"Deportivo had theirs, but we had more success in front of goal. Justice? I'll leave it to you.

"The pitch and opponents asked a lot of us to get the win."
