The wings were the focus of most of Atletico's attacks today. The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit S. Capodagli Colarizi just fine. Atletico took the lead after 27 minutes as a result of H. Gullin's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. A well-executed free kick by M. Lavaud after 31 minutes made it 2 - 0 for Atletico. Atletico put in a good effort on the right, but H. Gullin saw his volley fly wide of the mark 32 minutes into the game. Atletico increased the lead as B. Tabak struck to make the score 3 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Halftime score was 3 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Atletico, with 70 percent of the ball.

The home side's M. Lavaud came close to extending the lead 48 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but A. Szymił managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. Team's counterattacks created a good chance for S. Capodagli Colarizi on the right after 49 minutes, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. The home side's M. Lavaud curled a free kick home after 56 minutes, putting Atletico ahead 4 - 0. Almost all the way down to the corner flag, Atletico's C. Drugă somehow managed to get a perfect pass into the middle, impossible to miss for G. Lengyel, who struck for 5 - 0. The players of Atletico now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Atletico coach let J. Wicken replace G. Lengyel after 60 minutes. Atletico had most of the ball, with 78 percent of possession.

Atletico's top performer was clearly B. Tabak. A. Mårtensson turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Team player was without a doubt S. Capodagli Colarizi. A. Szymił on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 5 - 0.
