Given a free kick at a sharp angle, socceroos went for a variation that loyal fans may recognize from training. A sideways passing move moved the defence out of position and let Albert Marín Valle slip through on goal. No hesitation - and it's 0 - 6, 61 minutes into the game. A drive on the left side allowed socceroos's Serafín González to get in close and score a goal in the 65:th minute, leading to 0 - 7.

socceroos claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 76 percent.
The most dominating At.Alcasserense player was without a doubt Manuel Jate. On the other hand, Juan Lacoste Rivero's play was disheartening.
