Koke scored one goal and had a hand in three more as Atletico Madrid handed Swedish side Malmo a 5-0 drubbing in Champions League Group A on Wednesday. Last season's beaten finalists struggled to convert overwhelming dominance into goals in the first period before Koke ran on to Arda Turan's clever dinked pass and fired into the corner three minutes after the break. Mandzukic made it 2-0 in the 61st minute when he poked Koke's low cross into the net as Antoine Griezmann added a third.-AP
