of the results & scorers.

RECREATIVO DE HUELVA with a 4-0 scoreline. The home side
come out strong & it was´nt long before SERGIO AGUERO scored
Atletico´s 1ºst in the 7th min from a header that saw him alone in the
box. Bad defensive mistake from Recreativo were Aguero was lethal!

Recreativo regained order in their play but in the 52th min a "cracker"

2ºgoal for the night.

Then to add the "cherry on the cake", French forward SINAMA
