Match report in news
-
93'A sixth minute goal by Correa decided this one and after that, Granada pushed in the last 20 minutes, but Atletico defended well and the one time Granada had a great chance, Oblak saved Simeone's men. That's all from us, thanks for your company and see you again soon!
-
93'All over at the Wanda and Atletico win the three points despite late pressure from the away side. Soldado is furious by the way in the post match interview saying his team weren't allow to compete by the referee and called his yellow "laughable". He's right, to be fair. The referee was very poor.
-
93'FT: Atletico 1-0 Granada! All over and Granada are very unhappy at only two added minutes being added. It should have been at least double that, to be fair.

46'Back underway here at the Wanda!

45'HT: Atletico 1-0 Granada! No added time! Half-time at the Wanda! It's been straight forward for the home side so far. Correa scored early on after Granada switched off from a throw-in. Vitolo hit the post and then had a goal disallowed while Granada have yet to test Oblak, but are still in it. Back for more in a bit!
-
44'This looks like it will be 1-0 until half-time. Atletico have dominated, but it's only 1-0 so Granada are still in this. Despite dominating, the home side have not had tons of chances.

-
40'Nothing is given and I think Correa was trying to kid the official there.
-
40'I don't think Soldado does much really. He has already been booked, remember. The Atletico and Granada players come together and there's a few handbags.
-
39'Penalty shout! It's taken short and then Correa goes down in the box claiming he s caught in the face.
-
38'Koke lays it off to Thomas whose strike is deflected behind for a corner.
Yellow card
a Granada

-
35'Saul still has problems with his shoulder after that collision with Herrera earlier.
-
35'Lodi is caught offside.
-
33'Oblak has not been tested at all in the first half up to now. The Atletico keeper could have stayed in the dressing room.

30'Free-kick for Granada. Nothing comes of it though.
-
28'Koke also goes in the book for arguing with Soldado, I think.
Yellow card
a Atlético
-
27'Soldado is carded for backing into Saul. Soto Grado books him, but it's never a yellow. Soldado is shaking his head and rightly so. Soldado will miss Granada's next league game with Valladolid.
Yellow card
a Granada
-
26'Herrera is cautioned for a foul in the build up.
Goal disallowed
-
26'Vitolo slots home a one on one after a lovely pass by Thomas, but the flag's up! He's miles off.
-
22'That was nasty! Saul and Herrera clash heads as they jump up for the ball at the halfway line and the Granada man comes off worst. He's up after quick treatment though.
-
22'Foulquier has a speculative effort from distance which doesn't trouble Oblak at all.
-
20'Granada get a free-kick, try and do something off the training ground and it's rather poorly executed.

-
14'The set piece is headed away by Duarte.
-
14'Saul is in the box after a nice pass by Koke and good keeping by Aaron means it's a corner.
-
13'Soldado is penalised for a foul on Savic.
-
10'That goal was a major blow for the away side and it came in such simple fashion.
-
8'Azeez!!! Thomas loses the ball in his own half, Azeez dribbles and then fires over from long range.
Goaaaaaal!

-
4'Atletico definitely the better side here so far.
-
