    Time:90'
    • Atletico Madrid
    • Sporting de Gijón
    • 90+4 That's the whistle, 3-1 to Atletico but they made hard work of it! They move sixth, four points off the Champions League places.
    • 90+2 A yellow card is shown to Moran for chopping down Aguero on the left. Correction - it is four minutes added time, my bad.
    • 90' Atletico are holding on quite comfortably now with two minutes added time being played. Should be a lot more than that.
    • 88' Lora is booked now...
    • 87' The free-kick is finally taken but nothing comes of it.
    • 85' Simao is sent off! A second yellow card! He committed a foul on the Sporting right wing. There's an ongoing row about this that will take some time to clear up...
    • 81' ATLETICO SUB: Forlan trudges off, replaced by Ever Banega.
    • 79' Lora with the cross after Camacho gives it away and Bilic flies in but heads over!
    • 76' Corner to Sporting, taken quickly, Atletico are asleep, Carmelo shoots low and Franco spills it, Luis Moran slides in on him and it rebounds to Lora who mis-hits his shot wide! Awful defending from Atleti and Sporting should have made them pay!!
    • 73' Maxi wins a corner on the right as Atletico attempt to earn some respite.
    • 72' It's incessant pressure from the visitors now but Perea manages to clear, Atletico break, Assuncao wide to Maxi but Lora cuts it out.
    • 71' Aguero to Forlan, wide to Maxi, the ball is launched into the box but headed clear, Camacho gets a touch but his crossfield pass for Heitinga is way too long, out for a throw.
    • 70' ATLETICO SUB: Raul Garcia comes off for Ignacio Camacho.
    • 69' Castro is in on the left, Atletico leaving loads of space at the back and he drills is across goal for Bilic but hacked out of play by Ujfalusi! Sporting playing really well now.
    • 67' Heitinga is out of position as Castro gets down the left, a deep cross aimed for Bilic far post, he gets a shove in the back from Raul Garcia but it spins back to Lora with the downward header but wide!
    • 65' Great decision from the ref, that was never a penalty, any handball would have been utterly accidental and, while it looked like Perea handled twice, the replay shows that he somehow managed to avoid touching the ball with his arm.
    • 64' Sporting come forward, in from Sastre on the right to Bilic and Perea slips and it seems to strike his arm, Sporting are baying for a penalty but play on! The ball is out for a corner.
    • 62' Assuncao is booked for kicking a lump out of Bilic.
    • 60' Cuellar is still down...
    • 59' Low ball in from Forlan on the right which Assuncao sprints in to meet but Cuellar gets there first. The two collid and Cuellar is hurt...
    • 58' Sastre is booked for a foul on Heitinga.
    • 56' Bilic chases the ball into the are on the left and Perea collides with him but no penalty, corner. It's drilled in low to the near post and Forlan puts it out for another corner.
    • 55' Bilic lacks the pace to latch on to a ball down the left that Perea gobbles up. Atletico are still in control but we've seen them collapse before...
    • 53' Forlan goes down on the edge of the box but no contact says the ref!
    • 50' Sporting get in again but this time Ujfalusi does his job and intercepts before Bilic can get a sniff.
    • 49' Atletico are convinced it was offside but Perea seemed to play Bilic on. Terrible defending from him and Ujfalusi anyway.
    • 48' Sporting launch an attack from the kick-off, long ball flicked on by Bilic with Ujfalusi weak in the air, Castro gets in down the left and Atletico have switched off totally, he drills it across the face of goal and Bilic taps it in! 3-1! Immediate response!
    • 47' Atletico counter, Sporting are all over the place as Forlan lays it off to Aguero who turns and gets in behind the last man and slides a cool low finish into the bottom right! 3-1!
    • 46' Second half underway!
    • 45+1 Half-time, comfortable for Atletico, 2-0 up.
    • 45' Simao to take the corner, he swings it into the six-yard box and Maxi with a downward header but well saved by Cuellar, he spills it and Aguero comes in to finish but Cuellar gets on it again.
    • 44' Forlan does well to win a corner on the right after chasing down Maxi's ball.
    • 42' Aguero chases the keeper down as he spills the ball but Cuellar gets back on it quickly enough.
    • 41' Forlan on the edge of the box, he slips it in for Simao on the left, he cuts inside and skips past Sastre and puts a low finish past Cuellar for 2-0! Just what the doctor ordered.
    • 39' Atletico come forward again, a mistake by the full-back means it breaks to Aguero on the right of the box, he drives low on goal, it beats Cuellar but inches wide of the far post!!
    • 37' Lopez is caught late by Sastre.
    • 36' Swung over into the box and Franco flies out to punch but Heitinga gets in his way and it's half-cleared, drops to Camacho but he fires over!
    • 35' Foul by Simao on Sastre. Free-kick Sporting on the right...
    • 33' Atletico are bossing this both in terms of possession and luck. A whopping 72% so far but not much between the two sides in terms of chances.
    • 31' Atletico come forward down the left, Simao crosses and Sporting are all over the place but Hernandez hacks it clear!
    • 29' Castro on the left swings a cross past Lopez and Bilic flies in but heads over! Should have scored!
    • 27' Forlan gets the ball 25 yards out and tries a scooped first-time shot and it takes a deflection off Nero, loops up in the air, over Cuellar and dips into the back of the net! 1-0 Atletico!!
    • 24' It's a pretty one-paced game so far, not much ambition from either side.
    • 21' Bilic gets up eventually and limps off, he's fine.
    • 20' Raul Garcia is booked for tripping Bilic, who goes down in a heap more on account of an awkward landing than the foul.
    • 19' Heitinga shoots from range but Cuellar gets down smartly and holds on too.
    • 18' Eventually the wall is arranged, Simao and Aguero over it.... but for some reason they try a weird short routine that doesn't come off at all, over-complicated and - frankly - awful.
    • 16' Simao is pulled down on the edge of the box, yellow card to Camacho. Free-kick in a very dangerous position.
    • 15' Simao goes down but nothing given, just outside the area and it looked like Camacho caught him.
    • 13' Aguero fires in a shot from long range after a great turn on halfway but Cuellar gets a hand on it and it bounces wide.
    • 11' Pedro swings a free-kick in from the right and it comes off the head of a Camacho but out for a goal kick, well over.
    • 9' Simao swings it in right-footed but cleared by the Sporting defence.
    • 8' Aguero is brought down on the left, free-kick on the left...
    • 3' Aguero beats the offside trap and he's in but it goes through to the keeper. Even he thought he was off, looking towards the linesman, but the flag stayed down!
    • 1' Match underway at the Vicente Calderon!!
    • - Atletico have to win to overcome the humiliating 5-1 loss to Racing in midweek. They welcome back Maxi Rodriguez in midfield while John Heitinga returns to the defence.
