Málaga came from behind twice before beating a stubborn Getafe side 3-2, with goals from Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Enzo Maresca, before Baptista’s timely intervention.
With the score at 2-2 heading into injury time, the match looked to be finishing an entertaining draw. However, when Venezuelan forward Salomón Rondón headed Enzo Maresca’s cross back across goal, it was Júlio Baptista who reacted first.
The ex-Real Madrid man sprang to life, executing a perfect overhead kick to seal the win that sends Málaga to new dizzy heights. The midfielder has been sensational since his return to Spain and once more captures the headlines this weekend.
