The minnows almost made light of their meagre lot in the 32nd minute, when Atleti goalkeeper Miguel Angel Moya saved sharply from Jorge Julia's header, but their situation became even more desperate moments later as Ruiz earned a second booking for dissent. That decision from referee Javier Estrada Fernandez was derided by a section of the home support, seemingly keen to see something vaguely resembling a contest.Correa caused further confusion within what remained of the Guijuelo defence in the final minute of the half, with a bout of penalty-area pinball presenting Torres with an easy chance to grab the fourth. Saul Niguez – starting despite having played 90 minutes against Las Palmas at the weekend – planted a header over the bar from Gaitan's corner early in the second half. The Calderon rose to warmly welcome Alessio Cerci in the 61st minute as the Italy winger replaced Saul and returned to the Atletico fray after loan spells with Milan, Genoa and a knee injury. Attentions had turned towards more meaningful battles in the new year by the time Pino cleverly looped an 80th-minute header beyond Moya.</blockquote>
