    • 90+3 End of the match! This result signals the intent of the new Atletico Madrid, while striking a blow to the morale of Real Zaragoza! This is a stellar performance for Javi Agguire's men! Thanks for joining us, hasta pronto!
    • 90+1 GOL GOL GOL GOOOOOOOOL! Maxi Rodriguez scores his second and Atleti's FOURTH! Luis Garcia set him up!
    • 89' The fourth official has signalled three minutes of added time, but a lot of the Zaragoza fans have already left!
    • 87' Diego Milito is caught offside again! He was 'fuera' when he latched onto Diogo's ball. It looks as though Zaragoza won't even get the dignity of a consolation goal.
    • 75' Maniche receives a huge ovation from the Atleti faithful as he comes off to be replaced by Cleber Santana. There's also a special 'welcome' for ex-Real madrid player Paco Pavon, as he replaces Sergio for Zaragoza!
    • 73' Referee Perez Lasa is having a nightmare! This time he disallows a perfectly good Aguero goal bvecause Maxi was ajudged to have been in an offside position! Kun Aguero really deserves a goal tonight.
    • 69' Javier Aguirre makes his own change, taking off full back Perea for Valera.
    • 66' In a substituion that Victor Fernandez must have made before the thrid goal, Ricardo Oliveira comes off for Sergio Garcia.
    • 63' Maxi Rodriguez joins the long list of players in the referee's book tonight, for taking his shirt off as he celebrates!
    • 62' ... And Maxi Rodriguez scores to surely put this game beyond doubt!
    • 62' PENALTY! Sergio fouls Maxi Rodriguez, gets booked, and now faces seeing his team go 3-0 down! Maxi will take it himself...
    • 57' It seems that the referee realised his mistake, as he is quick to book two Zaragoza players soon after those incidents. First Diogo goes in the book for a foul on Raul Garcia, then Luccin gets the same treatment for impeding goalscorer Luis Garcia.
    • 53' There's uproar in the stands of the Vicente Calderon, as referee Perez Lasa misses two clear fouls on Atletico players, first by Ayala, on a booking, on Forland and then by Luccin on Kun Aguero. How did the officials miss that?
    • 47' Ayala is booked for a foul on Forlan after the Uruguayan linked up well with Aguero.
    • 46' Zaragoza bring on D'Alessandro for the second half, in place of Gabi, as they get the second half underway.
    • 45' Diego Milito is cuaght offside after being played in by Aimar. That's the last action of the half. Zaragoza have work to do!
    • 36' Aguero is through on Cesar again! His shot across goal beats the keeper but AYALA RACES BACK TO CLEAR OFF THE LINE! The Argentinian veteran saved his team from going three down!
    • 33' GOL GOL GOOOOOOOOOOOLL! Forlan makes it 2-0 Atleti! Maxi Rodriguez sends a great pass over Juanfran to Forlan, who only needs a subtle touch to beat Cesar and double his sides lead!
    • 30' Leo Franco needs two attempts to grab it after saving. nervous moments for Atleti!
    • 29' Raul Garcia follows that up by fouling Luis Garcia in a very dangerous position! He gets booked for his troubles, and it could get worse for his team...
    • 27' Zaragoza win a corner after some good work by Aimar. Raul Garcia and Pablo combine to clear it away.
    • 22' Oliveira strikes a great free kick. Great save Leo Franco! He's tipped it behind for a corner!
    • 20' Aguero is through on goal, but he's been flagged up for offside! Replays show it's a contentious decision.
    • 14' Luis Garcia brings it forward and STRIKES FROM DISTANCE! Cesar gets a hnad to it and it goes behind for a corner. There aren't many in the business better from that kind of range!
    • 10' GOOOOOOOOL! Luis Garcia opens the scoring for Atletico! Forlan left it for the ex-Liverpool forward, and he stroked home clinically past Cesar! First blood Atleti!
    • 7' Mariano Pernia is booked for a foul on Gabi. The Atleti full back will now miss the next game through suspension.
    • 6' Aguero is one-on-one with Cesar! He goes down under the challenge of Ayala! NO PENALTY!!
    • 1' Atletico get this show on the road!
