  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Atlético de Madrid
    • Getafe C.F
    • 90+7 And that is the end, 1-0 to Atletico in a barely-deserved win that hardly serves as a fine example for the best of La Liga.
    • 90+6 Granero will take the free-kick... but he sends it onto the roof of the net. An Atletico player is down pretending to be injured, Pernia it seems, the ever-righteous Cata Diaz is fuming as ever at what he sees as gamesmanship.
    • 90+6 Granero is fouled by Cleber Santana on the left hand corner of the box, unnecessary foul but one late chance for Getafe...
    • 90+5 The players are on their last legs now, Getafe lumping it into the area and hoping for the best and Atletico barely able to get their heads up to clear...
    • 90+4 Cleber Santana with an inch-perfect through ball to Maniche who is clean through but the flag is up, he was offside.
    • 90+4 Manu is now booked for a late tackle.
    • 90+3 De la Red flicks the ball on and Kepa is in but Pablo hauls him down and the ref points to the spot! But no, he has called Kepa offside - and the replay shows he was right, great spot, he's been excellent tonight but I bet they moan afterwards.
    • 90+2 Kepa slides in late and from behind on Antonio Lopez, yellow.
    • 90+1 ATLETICO SUB: Luis Garcia on for Forlan. They must be exhausted, the ref really punishing them for their lameness this evening.
    • 90' SEVEN minutes of injury time added on. Phew.
    • 89' ATLETICO SUB: Maxi comes off for Cleber Santana.
    • 87' Kepa forces an excellent stop from Abbiati after taking a long ball on his chest and volleying on goal, corner... which Abbiati does really well to catch and throw clear, then goes down with an injury of sorts.
    • 85' Kepa wide to De la Red who has to slide in to stop it going out for a goal kick, throw Atletico.
    • 84' Getafe catch Atletico napping with the ball over the top and Albin is in but he leaves it! Ah, flag was up, Kepa was offside.
    • 83' Getafe break from the corner and Raul Garcia hauls down Granero.
    • 82' Almost a lucky goal for Antonio Lopez as his low cross is deflected in at the near post but Contra clumsily gets down to touch it behind for a corner.
    • 79' It's nine against nine now, Reyes gets a straight red for a horribly wild, late challenge. Clever chaps they are today.
    • 78' This could be quite funny, cop-bashing Romanian wing back Contra goes in goal as Getafe have used all three subs, and he immediately nervously parried the free kick which his defenders clear.
    • 77' This is ridiculous and it's all the players' own silly faults. Abbondanzieri is quite correctly shown a second yellow for insanely rushing out to the right wing to challenge Maxi who was chasing a high one into the channel, he blocked it with his hand, off he goes.
    • 75' GETAFE SUB: Corner to Getafe, who have brought Kepa on for Casquero... Cleared quite comfortably by Raul Garcia.
    • 72' Rossi is now sent off for a second yellow card, this one for a late trip from behind on Maxi. Another good decision from the ref.
    • 70' Getafe give it away and Atletico counter, the ball played past the last defender for Maxi to chase and Abbondanzieri gets there just first, slight contact with Maxi and oh deary, deary me, he rolls out of his area, across the pitch and out of play for a throw in. What a tart, and yes, the ref books him for play-acting.
    • 68' Ball almost drops for Manu in the box but Atletico - who are now starting a rearguard action - hoof it clear.
    • 66' GETAFE SUB: Attacking move by Laudrup who takes Cortes off for Contra.
    • 65' Forlna flicks it wide right to Maxi Rodriguez who stands a dangerous cross high to the far post and Aguero flies in but he misses it, handles and gets a second yellow, off he goes. Looked a bit harsh as I don't think he meant to handle it.
    • 64' A lull in the game, both sides tiring slightly and a lot more longer balls knocking about...
    • 60' ATLETICO SUB: Simao trudges off for Reyes.
    • 58' Furious reaction from Licht after Pera slides in on him, no free kick, just a corner it seems but there are afters and the ref is going to talk to the players to calm them down.
    • 50' Counter from Atleti, Aguero takes it on his chest, races clear of the last defender and Abbondanzieri has come rushing out to force Aguero wide, Aguero goes down despite no contact from Abbondanzieri and Getafe are rightly furious... good on the ref, he spotted the dive and books the Atletico striker.
    • 49' Long range shot by Granero is tipped up in the air by Abbiati and it's going to creep in and he gets back in time and it comes back down off the bar AND ALBIN WITH THE HEADER BUT INCREDIBLE SAVE BY ABBIATI ON THE LINE! How did they survive that?
    • 48' Corner to Getafe on the left... swung into the area and BELENGUER but he doesn't make good contact and goes down with Perea, who fouled who there? Nothing given, then Belenguer goes down after a non-contact off the ball incident, holding his face, oh please do stop it.
    • 46' Second half underway!
    • 45+2 And that is half-time, Atletico can count themselves fortunate to lead 1-0 at the break.
    • 45+1 Cortes goes down like he's been shot after minimal, light contact from Simao whose momentum had taken him into the back of him. Simao merely put his hands out to cushion their collision and Cortes is waiting for the stretcher even though he is clearly fine. Softy.
    • 45' One minute added time to be played...
    • 44' Long ball from the left catches Pernia out who lets it drop TO MANU DIVING IN AT THE FAR POST AND HE MUST SCORE BUT HE SENDS THE HEADER WIDE! That was at point blank range! Getafe really should be level in this match, that is two howlers they have missed.
    • 43' Simao sends a low, right foot curler just wide of the post after being set up by Forlan, who Aguero had found after leading a counter but a touch too late to get the shot away.
    • 41' Granero with an excellent through ball to Manu, who is past the last defender but a bit too wide and he tries to drill it across Abbiatti but straight at the Italian keeper.
    • 38' De la Red with a long-range effort that goes high, wide and handsome.
    • 35' The red mist descends on Cata Diaz, still fuming after that Maniche tackle, he goes in late on Aguero in revenge and then goes head-to-head with Raul Garcia. Yellow for the former Boca defender.
    • 33' Maniche goes in hight, late and dangerous on Cata Diaz, who loses the plot a bit and goes head to head with the Portuguese. Yellow for Maniche.
    • 32' Pernia to take this free kick, right on the right hand corner of the box... and he launches it high and deep but it dips and curls wickedly to beat Abbondanziere and cannon down off the angle of post and crossbar!! brilliant effort.
    • 31' Licht lucky to escape without a booking it seems after quite cynically tripping Antonio Lopez on the right-hand corner of the box, free-kick to Atletico...
    • 29' Manu with a superb run down the right, nodding it past Pablo and sprinting to the byline but he can't get the cross away. Getafe looking like the team currently in second place, not Atleti!
    • 27' Ball through the middle by Casquero and Manu is clean through, brilliant diagonal run across the defenders, and he squares it to Albin with the open goal but he totally fluffs it to send it wide!! Horrendous miss my Getafe!
    • 24' Another free-kick to Getafe, almost identical position to the last one, Granero to take this time... and he whips it, left-footed, just wide of the post!
    • 22' De la Red and Moral over the ball... Granero too... Cate Diaz will take though and he hammers in a superb drive which flashes just wide!
    • 21' Raul Garcia with a foot up on Albin on the edge of the Atleti box, a real chance for Getafe here...
    • 20' Long ball flicked to the left by Aguero, Simao now bursts into the box and with a brilliant low ball to the near post he finds Forlan to hammers it into the roof of the net for 1-0 to Atletico!
    • 13' Corner to Atleti on the right which Pernia strolls over to take... and it's an excellent delivery flicked-on by Aguero but Getafe manage to get it clear before anyone can pounce!
    • 10' Getafe make a pig's ear of clearing their lines but eventually they get the ball away.
    • 8' Sturdy tackle in the box from Pablo on Casquero which causes the away fans to howl for a penalty but no chance there.
    • 6' Pernia seems to stamp on Albin when he goes down about 32 yards from the Atletico goal, slightly to the left... poor free kick from Granero though, easy to clear.
    • 4' Aguero is inches away from sliding Forlan through but the Uruguay forward wasn't alive to the pass.
    • 1' Match underway, and Getafe immediately on the offensive, Manu seeing his shot blocked after Eler failed to clear Casquero's attempted cross.
    • - Cosmin Contra is on the bench for Getafe, despite being convicted last week for assaulting a policeman in his native Romania.
    • - Antonio Lopez continues at right back for Atleti, with Eler partnering Pablo at the back and Simao in for Reyes on the left.
    • - Hello and welcome to eurosport.com's LIVE coverage of today's Madrid derby, Atletico hosting Getafe at the Vicente Calderon from 18:00GMT!
