In the Spanish Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid have posted a 4-1 victory over visiting Segunda B side Gui Guijuelo, in the second leg of the contest, to finish their round-of-32 tie finish 10-1 on aggregate.

Nico Gaitan opened the scoring Early for the hosts, before Angel Correa doubled the lead in the 22nd minute with a low and hard effort.

Atletico Madrid soon struck-again through veteran defender Juanfran, and then Fernando Torres made it 4-nil for the home side, seconds before half time.

Things then got even worse for the visitors as they were reduced to 10 men after losing Raul for 2 yellow cards.

Substitute Pino, however, grabbed a late consolation goal for the away side, but it was too little too late, as Atletico secured a safe passage through to the next round of the Copa del Rey, on a 10-1 aggregate victory.
