20'
Allan-Romeo Nyom produces an important touch at the back for Granda as he turns the ball behind for a corner.
18'
Atleti have calmed things down a touch after Granada's fast start but it is the home side who look the most dangerous. They start the day in 18th place with four points but don't look like relegation candidates so far.
16'
Uche looks full of intent when collecting the ball with his back to goal but Dominguez gets a leg in to prevent the striker from spinning and getting a shot in.
15'
Diego supplies a dangerous corner from the left for Atleti but goalkeeper Roberto races off his line to punch away under pressure. That was decisive.

What a chance! Inigo Lopez meets a wicked free-kick from the right with a firm header that flies just wide of the upright. He should really have hit the target.
12'
Stat from Opta: Granada, along with Sporting, Cesena and Bologna, are the lowest-scoring side in Europe’s top five leagues this season (two goals).
10'
A bit of controversy here. As a corner is about to be delivered Alexandre Geijo goes down clutching his face as his team-mates claim there has been contact. Replays show that Miranda did make some contact with his chest, but not much.
8'
Stat from Opta: Granada have won just two of their last 14 league matches against Atletico.
7'
Atleti - who start the day in eighth place with eight points from six games - continue to soak up pressure before Falcao is caught offside.
5'
Now Benitez delivers another teasing cross and forces Miranda into a desperate headed clearance. Granada have been superb in the early stages.
