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!

Yellow card

a Getafe
  • 93'
    Angel is booked. I think for arguing. He thought it should have been his throw.
  • 91'
    Four extra minutes.
  • 91'
    The two free-kicks sum up Getafe's performance tonight.
  • 90'
    Would you believe it!!! They hit the wall again! Arambarri wasted it. The wall jumped and Savic took a blow to the head.
  • 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.
  • 65'
    Joao Felix has gone down and he is getting some treatment. I think he landed awkwardly after jumping for the ball with Arambarri.

  • 57'
    And he makes another save from the corner! Savic with the header.
  • 56'
    Morata takes and Soria makes a tremendous save!!! He dives to his right and tips it round the post!!! It was at a good height for the GK though.
  • 55'
    Penalty to Atletico after a brilliant run by Felix!!! He runs 40 yards, nutmegs Arambarri and he beats 3-4 players before being fouled by Bruno.
  • 54'
    Getafe win a corner, but Koke is fouled from the set piece.
  • 52'
    Gimenez catches Jaime Mata in the face. It's exactly the same as Lodi's, but no card is given. I think there was a foul previous to that by Getafe though.

    Mata wants a penalty, but the ref gives a free kick to the home side. The subsitute Carnero puts in a cross for Mata who controls before Savic heads back to Oblak.
  • 46'
    Welcome back everyone! Atletico get us going again!
  • 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. Molina and Lodi were sent off in just a few minutes so it's 10 v 10. Atletico were the better team, but Getafe picked up once they fell behind. See you in a bit for the second half!
  • 45'
    One added minute.
  • 45'
    Getafe get another corner and the away side are penalised for a foul.
  • 44'
    Getafe win a corner on this side which goes across the face of the area and Getafe keep possession.
Card

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.
Card

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.
  • 34'
    Molina goes down wanting a penalty, but Molina dives. VAR checks it, but finds nothing. Savic didn't touch him.
  • 33'
    The free-kick beats everyone in the box and just goes past the post.
  • 32'
    Getafe have got themselves a free-kick here for a foul by Thomas. 30 yards out.
  • 31'
    Koke, Trippier and Thomas link up before Thomas is penalised for a handball.
  • 29'
    Cucurella pulls back Lodi and the home fans are upset there's no card.
  • 27'
    Jaime Mata hits at Oblak, but it's easily saved.
  • 24'
    Atletico have taken the lead and now Getafe will have to attack more.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Atlético en el 23'
  • 23'
    Morata scores!!!! Atletico take the lead!!! Thomas finds Trippier on the far side and the Englishman's cross is perfect for Morata to head home from 8 yards out!! 1-0!
  • 21'
    What a pass by Saul!!!! From 30 yards out, he finds Trippier on the far side and his attempted square pass for Morata is misdirected and goes to Soria.
  • 19'
    Atletico get a corner and from the resulting set-piece, Gimenez is penalised for handball.

    Damian Suarez puts in a nice cross into the Atletico area and Gimenez clears.
  • 15'
    Morata is brought down by Djene just outside the area, but the Atletico man was offside.
  • 13'
    Great run by Morata!!! He sprints 35 yards and then passes to Felix who can't reach it despite sliding in to try and toe poke it past the keeper. I think Felix was off anyway.
  • 12'
    Lemar's delivery goes to Felix and he can't reach it.
  • 11'
    Joao Felix is pulled back off the ball by Damian Suarez and Atletico have a free-kick here.

    Lemar sends in a long pass for Lodi and although he tries to control it with his chest/arm, he can't and it goes for a goal kick.
  • 8'
    Atletico Madrid have won the first corner of the game after Cucurella had to stop Koke progressing, but the set-piece is overhit.
  • 5'
    It's a relatively quiet start here so far. Getafe have had better territory, but it seems to have started at a slow tempo.
  • 3'
    Cucurella's ball in looks for Molina at the far post, Molina can't head it towards goal and then Lodi is brought down.
  • 3'
    Cucurella is fouled by Koke and the away side has a free-kick in a good position here.
  • 1'
    Getafe get us going and are shooting from left to right!

  • PRVW
    We've got a minute's silence prior to kick-off.
  • PRVW
    Koke and Molina shake hands in the middle.
  • PRVW
    The players are now out on the pitch!! Getafe in yellow and Atletico in their usual colours.
  • PRVW
    All the lights have been dimmed as there is a pre-match ceremony going on.
  • PRVW
    Getafe have not won away to Atletico Madrid since 2005.
  • PRVW
    Getafe 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.
  • PRVW
    It 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.
  • PRVW
    It's 31 degrees currently in Madrid so we could well see a drinks break in each half.
  • PRVW
    Guillermo 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.
  • PRVW
    Diego 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.
  • PRVW
    Getafe XI: Soria (GK); Cabrera, Djene, Bruno, Nyom; Cucurella, Fajr, Arambarri, Damian Suarez; Mata and Molina.
  • PRVW
    The 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.
