Isco bags a brace as Malaga begin life in the Champions League proper with a comfortable win over Zenit St. Petersburg at Estadio La Rosaleda.

Malaga have recorded a comfortable win over Zenit St. Petersburg in the La Liga side's first game in the Champions League proper.

Los Boquerones, who qualified for the group stage with a 2-0 aggregate win over Panathinaikos, were aided by a brace from Isco as they saw off the Russian champions in style at Estadio La Rosaleda.

The Spanish youth international opened the scoring on three minutes, firing into the bottom-right corner from 15 yards following a clever pass from Eliseu.

Javier Saviola doubled his side's advantage 10 minutes later with a classy volley from Jesus Gamez's cross.

Isco completed the rout from long range 14 minutes from time.
