Some things can only be learned through experience, and A. Tonţ should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting atletico a goal with 18 minutes of the match played. At 26 minutes played, M. Zarzo came in from the right with the intention of giving atletico the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to H. Xove, but the atletico player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! atletico's C. Ramiro struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 2 - 0 after 41 minutes. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. H. Xove squirmed through their central defence after 43 minutes, increasing the lead to 3 - 0. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, E. Baczko got himself booked. The manager of atletico was not happy. Things were deteriorating for the away team as atletico scored another to make it 4 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for M. Zarzo after 44 minutes. Halftime score was 4 - 0. atletico enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 68 percent of possession.

The heat made it a terrible day for J. Ozores, who seemed unable to keep up with the other players. L. Fouriozos increased the lead for atletico to 5 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! By now, the players in atletico felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. A. Fernández Solar enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. atletico's C. Ramiro increased the lead to 6 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 81 minutes. atletico put themselves up 7 - 0 when J. Yanguas Benito broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. After 83 minutes atletico's J. Fernández had to be carried off on a stretcher in agony. J. Grimau came in to replace him. Algemesi breathed new life into the game with an opportunity to reduce the score after 86 minutes, but the home side's defenders cleared the ball on the line, after a long shot coming in from the left rebounded off the crossbar. F. Busturia of Algemesi received a yellow card after 87 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Algemesi had to make a substitution after 88 minutes. V. Medrano limped off the field and was replaced by I. Escuredo. The Algemesi captaincy was handed to I. Escuredo. The home side's M. Zarzo came close to extending the lead 89 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but X. Collado managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. atletico claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 63 percent.

Most important atletico player was M. Zarzo. E. Baczko was a disappointment, however. C. Mahiques performed admirably for Algemesi. On the other hand, J. Ozores's play was disheartening. The match ends 7 - 0.
