  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Atletico de Madrid
    • Bolton Wanderers
    • 90+3' There's the final whistle!!! Bolton are through!!! A fantastic result for Gary Megson's men!!! Atletico had their chances, but didn't take them. They only have themselves to blame.
    • 90+1' Miguel de las Cuevas lets fly from 18 yards, but he too is off target.
    • 89' Diego Forlan swings across a deep corner...but it's too deep and runs out of play on the other side.
    • 86' Jose Antonio Reyes tries his luck from just outside the area, but fires wide.
    • 84' Abdoulaye Meite is on for Joey O'Brien now. Gary Megson is clearly keen to add a bit of height to his defence to help deal with this barrage of balls into the box.
    • 83' Diouf is now booked for a foul on Luis Perea. And Kavin Davies is booked soon afterwards for time-wasting.
    • 79' Now O'Brien makes a block from another Jurado effort, this time from jsut outside the area.
    • 76' The latest in a succession of corners sees Jaaskelainen make a save from Jurado's shot. Can Bolton survive this pressure?
    • 71' Reyes connects with a Mariano Pernia corner, though sees his shot go past the post.
    • 67' Javier Aguirre throws the striker Mista on in place of the centre back Pablo. The Colchoneros are throwing caution to the wind now.
    • 63' Jurado is clean through...he bears down on Jaaskelainen...but shoots wide!!! Atletico spurn another golden opportunity!
    • 51' Ivan Campo comes on for Bolton in place of Gavin McCann. Campo is booed for his former Real Madrid connection. Diouf is on for Stelios too!
    • 45+2' There's the half-time whistle. Bolton have had one big let off, as Luis Garcia missed a sitter, but otherwise can be pleased with their performance.
    • 45' 2 minutes of time at the end of the half.
    • 43' Forlan throws himself to the ground in the area! But the referee quite correctly signals to play on. He wasn't swung by the playacting.
    • 41' Jurado lambasts himself after miscontrolling a ball.
    • 38' Reyes sends another decent cross into the Bolton area, though it's a little too close to Jaaskelainen, who deals with it.
    • 34' Atletico have improved as the game has gone on. They are not exactly convincing going forward, but they are certainly the better of the two teams so far. Meanwhile, Maxi Rodriguez is back on the pitch after an injury.
    • 31' Excellent work from Diego Forlan, he finds Luis Garcia unmarked at the back post, must score...NO!!! REYES MISSES AN ABSOLUTE SITTER!!! What a let off for Gary Megson's side.
    • 29' Now it seems there are a few minor scuffles between the Bolton fans and the police, just moments after the troubles with the Atletico fans had quietened down.
    • 25' A huge fight has broken out amongst the Atletico Ultras. The Bolton fans aren't involved, thankfully. Quite what is the reason for that is anyone's guess.
    • 24' Diego Forlan now with a headed effort, but that never really posed the Trotters any danger. Meanwhile, Kevin Nolan has been booked for a foul on Jose Antonio Reyes.
    • 21' Cleber Santana sends an audacious effort into orbit.
    • 17' Luis Garcia draws a decent stop from Jaaskelainen, before a Maxi Rodriguez shot comes rebounding back off Andy O'Brien.
    • 15' Pernia sees a shot come back off a defender. They must beware of his ability to let fly from distance. He earned himself a reputation during his time at Getafe for spectacular goals.
    • 13' Another dangerous ball flashes across the Atletico box, and Bolton can be very happy with the start they have made here in Madrid.
    • 12' Now it's Bolton on the attack as Stelios lets fly, and Christian Abbiati makes a fine save!!
    • 10' Mariano "tha cannon" Pernía gets down the left for Atletico and puts in a fine cross, though Jaaskelainen claims well!
    • 8' Joey O'Brien is booked for Bolton.
    • 7' Atletico are struggling to keep possession. Bolton are pressing well early on.
    • 5' Jurado with an untidy early challenge on Nicky Hunt. The referee keeps his cards in his pockets for now.
    • 3' Bolton are launching a few high balls into Kevin Davies in attack. He will be shadowed by the equally imperious figure of Pablo Ibanez.
    • 1' Bolton get the first half underway.
    • 19:40 Will we have a repeat of any of the histrionics between these two sides that occurred at the Reebok Stadium last week? The Spanish certainly didn't like Bolton's physical approach, and complained that the referee was "too English" in his style. How will they cope this evening?
    • 19:30 Welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's live text coverage of Atletico Madrid v Bolton from the Vicente Calderon.
