Quique Sanchez Flores took the reigns at the Atletico bench for the first time and he wasn’t about to let any upsets ruin his bow as he fielded an entire regular first team with the exception of forwards, Diego Forlan and Sergio Aguero. Asenjo, Ujfalusi, Pablo, Antonio Lopez, Assuncao, Maxi and Jose Antonio Reyes all took to the field against the reincarnation of ex-Atleti president, Jesus Gil’s other former club. But Los Colchoneros didn’t have it all their own way and they were fortunate to take the lead after 18 minutes through a Troyana own goal after he bundled the ball into his own net from an Ujfalusi cross. Maxi Rodriguez then hit the post just past the half-hour mark with a fierce drive just outside the area, but the Argentine finally netted the insurance goal in the 83rd minute when he got to the end of substitute, Simao’s through ball and finished with a clinical shot across goal.
