Share said "I am really dissapointed and lets be honest I thought we were shocking. We gave the game away in  the first 20 minutes. The referee made some bad decisions as both penalties should not have been but in the end we have to accept that we did not turn up and we lacked heart. Fuengirola deserved to win maybe not by the score and in end we got what we deserved ".

Share made two tactical changes to try and cut the lead and 10 minutes later Fabian Ponce Sanchez would somewhat repay the team for his mistakes with a diagonal ball to play Alberto Salas Ramirez into the penalty area. Salas looking to shoot was brought down and this time Atletico would be awarded a penalty. Salas would pick himself up to score from the resulting penalty and to make the score 3-1.

The 2nd half kicked off in the same fashion with Atletico looking to get another goal back with both teams looking evenly matched. On the 70 minutes mark against play another dubious penalty was awarded to Fuengirola. This decision ended any chances of an Atletico fight back as another good penalty would make the score 4-1.

With the game virtually over Atletico pushed center back Fabian Ponce Sanchez into the midfield and played three at the back to try and cut Fuengirola's lead. From a counter attack Fuengirola would play the ball across the goal which Sergio Inglesias Hildago looking to clear the ball accidently hit into the top corner to score a own goal and make the final score 5-1.
