53'
Couple of good chances for Atletico Madrid! Garcia makes a header from a cross at the back post and forces a save from Fabricio, and then the Deportivo keeper makes a stop from Saul.
51'
As I say, Deportivo have been more adventurous in this seocnd half but Atletico Madrid have hardly been troubled. They're be comfortable with defending crosses into their own box.
50'
Deportivo La Coruna are certainly seeing more of the ball in the final third. Although most of what they are creating is crosses into the Atletico Madrid box. That won't trouble Godin and Gimenez.
49'
I wouldn't be surprised if Simeone gives Griezmann another 10 minutes before taking him off and wrapping him in bubblewrap ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash with Real Madrid.
48'
That's an attacking change from the Deportivo La Coruna coach. They were attacking from the start but Farina will give the home side more threat in attack. Will he make an impression?
47'
Sanchez has made a change at the break. Farina has come on for Deportivo, with Perez going off. That's a like for like change for the home side. He's on loan from Benfica and impressed against Valencia recently.
46'
How will Atletico Madrid approach this second half? Will they go for a third and a fourth? Or will they shut up shop and look to see out the game comfortably, without exerting themselves much.
45'
The second half is under way at the Riazor! Atletico Madrid hold a 2-0 lead over Deportivo La Coruna.

What did you make of the first half? Should Simeone now withdraw Griezmann with hs sights set on next week's Champions League second leg against Real Madrid? Tweet me!
45'
HALF TIME: Deportivo La Coruna 0-2 Atletico Madrid. The home side are battling relegation but they haven't put up much of a fight here. Griezmann's double has given Atletico the lead.
44'
Simeone has now been told to leave the dugout after arguing with the referee over that tackle on Griezmann. He thinks Sidnei should have been booked. Someone show him a replay.
43'
Sidnei brings down Griezmann as the French attacker surged forward on the counter attack, although replays show that the Deportivo defender actually got most of the ball in the tackle.
42'
The home side are pressing slightly harder now. It's as if with half-time approaching they have decided to give it one last go in this first half. They'll get a rest in a few minutes after all.
41'
Juanfran has been poor for Deportivo La Coruna in this first half. His touch has been disappointing, and his delivery has been nondescript. Toche and Riera haven't had a chance.
40'
This gamehas turned somewhat scrappy in the last five minutes or so, as both sides attempt to have an impression on each other with crunching tackles and tussles all over the pitch.
39'
This is a very attacking side from Victor Sanchez. He went into this game looking to have a go at Atletico Madrid, but that hasn't really happened in effect. They've got nowhere near the opposition goal.
38'
Should Garcia have gone down? Juanfran lunged in to make he challenge on the Atletico Madrid player, but he skips past it and eventually runs the ball out. He should hav gone down.
37'
Garcia just doesn't give up. He slips as he tries to make his way past Sidnei, but he still manages to put enough pressure on the Deportivo La Coruna defender so that he concedes a corner kick.
36'
Deportivo La Coruna's midfield play, and play out to the wings, has been neat and tidy. They have kept the ball well, but they haven't worked it into the final third. Toche and Riera have had nothing.
35'
This game would appear to be over. Atletico Madrid aren't exactly pressing the issue, but then neither are Deportivo La Coruna - which is strange given the relegation they find themselves in.
34'
Koke looks for Godin in the Deportivo La Coruna penalty area with a corner kick delivery, but this time the home side does well to defend the cross and they clear the danger comfortably.
