Malaga into Champions League quarterfinals

Malaga are into the Champions League quarterfinals after an impressive 2-0 win over Porto.

Manuel Pellegrini's men overcame a one goal first leg deficit to beat 10-man Porto at La Rosaleda.

Isco's wonderful opener minutes before the break gave the home side the lead to cancel out Joao Moutinho's first leg goal before substitute Roque Santa Cruz scored just four minutes after coming on to seal a famous win.

With a four-year European ban hanging over them, this year's competition is all the more important for the Spaniards, who ramped up the pressure after Steven Defour saw red four minutes into the second half.
