  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Racing Santander
    • Atletico Madrid
    • 90' Final whistle, a spanking for Atletico Madrid who were awful tonight.
    • 89' Zigic comes off to a standing ovation with Picon on in his place.
    • 88' Atletico come forward through Higuain who slides it across to Luis Garcia but the flag is up.
    • 86' Serrano on the left wing plays it inside to Colsa, who is just inside the box on the left, he controls on his chest and fires a wicked cross and Zigic with a header and it's five. His 11th of the season and the humiliation is complete. Expect Atletico to have a new coach in the summer.
    • 83' This time Accuncao is able to head the delivery clear, which Ever completes.
    • 82' Ujfalusi with a blatant trip on Munitis, free-kick on the right which the little man will swing in...
    • 80' Zigic is booked after a confrontation with Ujfalusi, which continues after his slide tackle, Zigic rightly accusing the Czech defender of over-reacting.
    • 77' ATLETICO SUB: Luis Garcia comes on for Forlan.
    • 75' Some fierce tackles are flying in but it's all over for Atleti, who look less composed at the back than they were earlier in the season, when Javier Aguirre was quite disgracefully fired despite leading them to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
    • 74' Serrano is booked for Racing.
    • 72' RACING SUB: Tono has picked up a knock and Coltorti comes on to replace him.
    • 69' Assuncao is lucky to stay on the pitch after a two-footed tackle on Zigic who, mercifully, gets up nothing more than shaken.
    • 68' Atletico manage to clear that corner but, seriously, if these guys get in the Champions League then Luke Chadwick can play for England.
    • 67' Atletico have given up now as Colsa slices through the defence and plays in Moraton who is clean through but the shot is deflected inches wide for a corner!
    • 65' WHAT A GOAL! 4-1! MUNITIS WITH AN OUTRAGEOUS CHIP FROM THE EDGE OF THE BOX THAT RATTLES IN OFF THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BAR! He deserved that, it came from a dreadful clearance by Leo Franco but it should not detract from a quite sublime finish.
    • 63' Atletico howl for handball and a penalty but the ball struck Garay in the chest, play on.
    • 62' ... a route which Forlan takes, a clipped finish past Tono to the left of the goal for 3-1!
    • 61' Aguero on a run down the left and he's in but pulled down by Cola! Penalty and a yellow card! A route back into the match for Atletico...
    • 60' RACING SUB: Moral is spared a second booking with Serrano on in his place.
    • 58' Atletico come forward and Aguero slides it into Forlan but he slips at the vital moment and the shot skews harmlessly into the arms of Tono!
    • 57' Drop ball after a clash of heads, played back to Franco by Zigic.
    • 54' Moraton is running a thin line here as he slides in on Perea, he's already been booked...
    • 51' Munitis of course will take and he sends it far post, more haphazard defending from Los Rojiblancos and Moraton has a chance but drills it wide!!
    • 50' Yellow card to Perea, free-kick around 35 yards out on the left....
    • 46' Second-half underway!
    • 46' ATLETICO SUB: Raul Garcia comes off for Argentine starlet Ever 'big boy' Banega.
    • 45' Half time, Racing lead 3-0 and Atletico look like a Liga BBVA side.
    • 42' Poor corner though, easy for Tono as Racing look to ride the half out 3-0 up.
    • 41' Well Aguero looks up for it anyway, closing down a lost cause to force Tono to put it out for a corner.
    • 39' Yet more Three Stooges defending as Pablo and Ujfalusi continue their quest for selection by the Rose and Crown, Egham, but this time Leo Franco manages to get across to hoof a terrible back-pass clear. Zigic is offside and knows it, but he decides to play the ball anyway, for a laugh, backheeling it into touch when the flag goes up.
    • 37' Munitis sends it in from the left and Lopez misses the ball to let Tchite in, he bustles towards the box but a poor touch takes it away from him and Ujfalusi should clear but he dilly-dallies and lets it run between his legs and Tchite gets a touch on it and it goes between Leo Franco's legs and in! Comical goal, shocking defending, Atletico really have no idea what they are doing.
    • 32' Forlan is played in by a cute ball over the top but he's offside as he sends the volley in.
    • 30' Tchite plays the ball low from the right and Moraton is in but good keeping from Leo Franco to smother at his feet.
    • 28' The ref has to calm Assuncao down after he demands a free kick with only a throw given after Moraton's challenge.
    • 26' Garay slides in on Aguero this time and again no booking, surprisingly lenient refereeing from the infamously card-happy Luis Medina Cantalejo.
    • 25' Nasty tackle by Pablo on Moraton but he escapes a booking.
    • 24' Sinama Pongolle gets in on the right and crosses towards goal and it strikes the outstretched arm of the sliding Sepsi but the ref misses it! Clear handball!
    • 23' Antonio Lopez swings a ball in from deep on the left but Tono rises to clutch to his chest.
    • 21' Atletico are looking like a relegation-battling side to be honest, they're all at sea at the back and in midfield as Munitis pops up right centre with no-one closing him down to shoot over.
    • 19' Another good chance for Racing as Tchite fires wide from a good position in the box after yet more hesitant defending from Atletico.
    • 17' It's incredible that, since his time at Real Madrid, Munitis has been peddling his high-quality trade for mid-table sides. He is a constant thorn in the side of full-backs and his dead-ball delivery is second to none.
    • 16' Free-kick to Racing on the left after a foul by Perea.... It's Munitis to swing it in again... a brilliant delivery AND GARAY FLIES INTO THE SIX-YARD BOX TO HEAD PAST GARAY FOR 2-0! Atletico reeling at the back and two goals down!!
    • 14' Munitis swings a great ball across from the left and Tchite flies in with the near-post header and it's 2-0! But no, the flag is up! He was offside - just. Zigic was miles off but as he didn't touch or attack the ball was not interfering, Tchite was marginal but probably the right decision.
    • 13' Another corner to Racing but Atletico clear.
    • 11' Perea gets to his feet and tries to run it off, seems he'll be okay to continue for now at least.
    • 10' Worrying for Perea, who is limping after a late tackle from Zigic...
    • 8' Free-kick to the hosts on the left, high ball into the Atletico box, predictably Zigic wreaks havoc and heads it on goal, off the bar and in flies Christian with the header on the rebound for 1-0!
    • 5' Zigic wins a free-kick inside the Atletico half, it's launched into the box by Munitis but Pablo gets it clear.
    • 4' A header from Forlan goes well wide.
    • 2' Racing are using the high ball a lot in these early stages, with giant striker Zigic the obvious target...
    • 1' Match underway in Santander!
    • - Tonight's match could see Atletico Madrid move fifth if they win at Racing as the two sides play their game-in-hand.
