    • Marseille
    • 90+2 And that is the final whistle, Atletico hold on for a win that puts them top of Liverpool on goal difference.
    • 88' Niang on the ball, he hammers in a drive and it flies inches wide with Leo Franco beaten!
    • 61' Aguero and Sinama-Pongolle exchange passes and the Frenchman has a pop which Mandanda palms away!
    • 55' Maxi almost scores a great goal, flicking it first-time past Mandanda but just wide!
    • 53' MARSEILLE SUB: Earlier, Ben Arfa and Aguero both picked up knocks. Well the former can't carry on and Zenden replaces him.
    • 49' MARSEILLE SUB: Erbate is struggling and is replaced by Zubar.
    • 46' Second half begins at the Vicente Calderon!
    • 45' Half-time, Atletico lead an entertaining half of football 2-1.
    • 42' Pernia with a heavy challenge on Valbuena, he gets a yellow for that.
    • 37' Niang on the ball, he works some space and has a crack but Leo Franco tips it away for a corner!
    • 29' Raul Garcia plays it through to Sinama-Pongolle but just too heavy for the Frenchman!
    • 22' Free-kick to Atletico on the right, Pernia to swing it in left-footed... He sends it low to the near post AND RAUL GARCIA FLIES IN WITH THE FINISH IN OFF THE FAR POST FOR 2-1! Brilliantly-worked free-kick.
    • 16' Ben Arfa on the right, looks one way and plays it low in for Bonnart who pings a great ball to the far post AND NIANG IS UNMARKED WITH A HEADER PAST LEO FRANCO FOR 1-1! The leveller, against the run of play, poor marking from Atleti. Perea all over the place, but to be fair he's a right-back by trade.
    • 14' Raul Garcia flies in with the header but just wide!
    • 10' Maxi on the ball from distance, he tries a shot and only parried by Mandanda but he dives onto it at the second attempt!
    • 7' Aguero is played through again, he is onside and he's one-on-one but Mandanda closes down the angle and parries the finish, corner Atleti!
    • 4' Ball over the top from Maxi, looking for Aguero, he takes a touch, a superb touch in fact that takes two defenders out and he drills it past Mandanda for 1-0! El Kun with a typical piece of skill and trademark finish, Atleti lead!
    • 1' First half underway at the Vicente Calderon.
