    • FT And there is the final whistle - a very good performance and result from Bolton - they are in with a good chance of advancing now. Thanks for joining us.
    • 90+1 We will have three extra minutes.
    • 90' Jaaskelainen has just got a bang from his own play Cahill after they both went for the same ball - he is fine though.
    • 88' Time wasting change from Atletico as Mista goes off with Miguel coming on.
    • 84' Bolton are being stifled in their bid to press on here – this game looks like it is going to stay 1-0.
    • 80' Atletico are sitting back now - it looks like they would be delighted to escape with this scoreline.
    • 77' So it is all change now but will Bolton try and push on and get a second while they have the man advantage?
    • 74' AND NOW BOLTON ARE IN FRONT - it is Diouf - A cross came in from the right from Stelios - Davies gets his head on it and it hit a Madrid left and comes back out to the Senegal man who then fires home.
    • 73' Aguero sent-off!! A really silly red card too - he was given a harsh yellow card for a foul on Taylor and then complained about it with the referee who gave him his marching orders.
    • 72' Sabrosa has picked up a knock and has to go off with Jurado the man who has come on to replace him.
    • 68' From the resulting free though the Portuguese man can only fire into the wall.
    • 66' Kevin Nolan is annoyed with himself - the ball falls for him just outside the box but he can't position his body to get the show away properly and it skies over the bar.
    • 65' The vistors are starting to get on top now - Maxi has just had another half chance and the Bolton defenders are flying their bodies everywhere trying to stop the flow of the Madrid attacks.
    • 63' Some panicky defending from Bolton as Atleti move it well from left to right but Forlan's shot is blocked.
    • 59' Changes on both side: Bolton bring on Stelios for Guthrie and the highly talented Aguero comes on for Reyes
    • 54' FORLAN HITS THE POST - Two Bolton defenders just watched as the former Manchester United man was allowed to shoot from just inside the area and it goes past Jaaskelainen but hits the outside of the post.
    • 51' And Guthrie now has an effort from distance but there is not enough power on the drive and Abbiati saves with ease.
    • 50' Taylor continues his person dual with Abbiati - first he flights in a free that again is punched clear - it eventually falls back out to Taylor who nearly catches the keeper out with a low drive to near post but again it is pushed away.
    • 47' It looks for a moment as if Mista is in the clear but he then checks back on the ball and that allows the Bolton defenders to get back and clear.
    • 46' A little bit of a mix up as Pablo heads away when Abbiati had come out to gather but Madrid again get away with the clearance falling away from danger.
    • 46' And we are back underway here at the Reebok stadium.
    • HT And there is the half-time whistle - good stuff from Bolton but still no goal to show for their efforts.
    • 45+1 Santana booked for a heavy challenge on Diouf - can you blame him for being tempted to do something like that?
    • 45' Yet ANOTHER drive from distance from Taylor - low and hard - Abbiati is in a good spot to save but still has to dive low to push it away.
    • 44' For once Abbiati tries to catch a ball and he gets barged into by Diouf for his troubles. Diouf could easily get sent-off in this match.
    • 40' We have seen some punching from both keepers tonight - Abbiati uses his fists to clear another cross and he is lucky a Bolton player is not there to make something of the loose ball.
    • 38' Bolton give Simao a little too much space on the edge of the area - the Portugal international has enough time to line up a low drive from the edge of the area but he pulls it wide.
    • 34' The game is going through a little bit of a slow patch at the moment - Atletico seem to have settled into the contest and Bolton are finding it hard to build on their early momentum. .
    • 30' Jaaskelainen fails to convince with a punched clearance but Taylor manages to scramble clear.
    • 28' Bolton really have been the better team in these early stages but they will be worried about the scoreline still been 0-0 especially as Madrid have so many dangerous attackers.
    • 24' Kevin Davies manages to control a long ball himself and then turn and shoot from 30 yards out - ambitous but not a bad effort - it goes wide though.
    • 21' Bolton have a free in a good area just by the right touchline but Taylor can't get the ball past the first man.
    • 17' Taylor continues to pop up all over the place - he shoots with his right foot from 25 yards and gets plenty of power on the effort. It is a little straight though and Abbiati can punch clear.
    • 14' SUPERB SAVE FROM JASSKELAINEN - after the antics of Diouf, Reyes whips in a free-kick the ball hits off the body of Lopez and looks to be heading into the corner but the Finnish keeper dives to make a great save.
    • 13' Diouf gets a yellow card for a heavy tackle on Simao and then shoves his face into the face of anybody who gets in his way - he is lucky it is just a yellow.
    • 10' Another Bolton chance and again it falls to Taylor - he lifts an effort over after Davies showed great strength to control the ball with his back to goal before feeding the former Portsmouth man.
    • 7' Madrid have barely been out of their own half in the opening moments Samuel has just piled into a tackle with Reyes in the Atletico box and the referee gives a free - but a little unlucky the Bolton player there
    • 4' Some decent pressure from Bolton in these early stages - Taylor now tries a snap shot from the edge of the box and again Abbiati has to get down and push it away.
    • 1' And Bolton have the first chance after only 20 seconds - a ball comes in from the left and Taylor rises highest at the back post to get a header on target but Abbiati gets down to save.
    • 1' And Atletico have just got us underway...
