End of match
-
95'Atletico Madrid (10) 1-0 (10) Getafe!!! It's all over at the Wanda!!! Atletico win thanks to Morata's goal in the first half. He also saw a penalty saved after a great run by Felix, but it didn't matter in the end. Getafe tried in the second half, but apart from a great strike from Angel which hit the bar, their attacks were easily dealt with. That's all from us, thanks for your company and see you again soon!
-
94'Trippier and Carnero collide, but the ref says Trippier won the ball. Throw in, Getafe attack despite being over the four minutes and Arambarri's ball in finally goes out for a goal kick. And that's the end!
-
94'Not long left and Atletico have a free-kick in their own half, but they don't keep the ball!

-
91'The two free-kicks sum up Getafe's performance tonight.

90'Free-kick to Getafe!!! Angel is brought down by Llorente on the edge of the D!
-
89'Morata breaks for Atletico and is bearing down on count, he has support in Vitolo and passes to him, but the ex-Sevilla man's shot is saved.

88'Getafe are throwing people forward now. It's all or nothing.
-
87'That was Getafe's first real chance of the game.
-
86'Angel strikes the crossbar out of nothing!!! The Getafe man hits a wonderful 25 yard strike and is denied only by the woodwork!
-
84'Getafe launch another ball into the area and Mario Hermoso clears. VAR checking there's no handball, but it touches Hermoso on the knee and the chest. The VAR gives it the all clear.
-
82'And they hit the wall with it! What a waste.

71'Getafe are continuing to throw men forward, but Oblak has had nothing to do.
-
68'When Damian Suarez was subbed, he wasn't right happy about it. He started throwing things on the bench. No shouting at the coach though,
-
67'Atletico sub: Joao Felix goes off and Marcos Llorente comes on. A big standing ovation for the Portuguese.

-

45'HT: Atletico Madrid (10) 1-0 (10) Getafe!!! Half-time at the Wanda where Moratas header means Atletico are in front, but that's only half the story.

Second yellow card
a Atlético
-
42'And Lodi is sent off now for a second yellow!!! It's 10 a side!!! Lodi jumps up and accidentally catches Suarez with his hand in his face. It could be considered careless, but I think that's very harsh. Suarez made a meal of it.
Yellow card
a Atlético
-
41'Lodi is booked for a foul now in midfield. He pulled back Arambarri.
-
38'And he's out of the game!!! Red card for Molina!!! Getafe are down to 10! He clearly doesn't want to hurt the player, he just wants to break down the attack, but he steps on Thomas' heel. A new directive by the Spanish FA says any foul from behind on the Achilles or ankle are red cards as they are delicate areas. That challenge ticked all the boxes.
-
37'Molina is penalised for tripping up Thomas on the counter. Tactical foul.
-
36'Getafe picking up now and they get another free-kick. It is cleared though.
-

Start of match
-
PRVWWe've got a minute's silence prior to kick-off.
-
PRVWKoke and Molina shake hands in the middle.
-
PRVWThe players are now out on the pitch!! Getafe in yellow and Atletico in their usual colours.
-
PRVWAll the lights have been dimmed as there is a pre-match ceremony going on.
-
PRVWGetafe have not won away to Atletico Madrid since 2005.
-
PRVWGetafe will be no pushovers though. They were very close to qualifying for the Champions League and they ended up finishing fifth. They are in the Europa League this season.
-
PRVWIt will be exciting to see Joao Felix in action as he scored two goals against Juventus in pre-season and the ex-Benfica man looks some player. He's just 19.
-
PRVWIt's 31 degrees currently in Madrid so we could well see a drinks break in each half.
-
PRVWGuillermo Cuadra Fernandez is the referee for this one while Alfonso Alvarez Izquierdo is the VAR. Funnily enough, Cuadra Fernandez was born in Madrid, but as he qualified as a ref in Mallorca, he can referee Madrid based sides.
-
PRVWDiego Costa and Angel Correa are suspended for the hosts after getting red cards towards the end of last season while Maksimovic is out for the away side after getting his fifth yellow of the season in the final match of last term. The Spanish Federation wanted to get rid of that rule for this season, but couldn't do it in time.
-
PRVWGetafe XI: Soria (GK); Cabrera, Djene, Bruno, Nyom; Cucurella, Fajr, Arambarri, Damian Suarez; Mata and Molina.
-
PRVWThe teams are in so let's get straight into it! Atletico XI: Oblak (GK); Lodi, Gimenez, Savic, Trippier; Lemar, Thomas, Saul, Koke; Morata and Joao Felix.
