FULL-TIME: Villarreal 1-0 Atletico Madrid
92'
Areola has made a few good saves for Villarreal this evening, but Atletico Madrid have been well below their best. Simeone will be concerned by their lack of attacking intent.
91'
Atletico Madrid are pressing as hard as they have in the entire game now. But Villarreal are still keeping their cool in possession. They have the ability to pass the ball around their opponents.

Three minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the second half.

GOOD SAVE FROM AREOLA! Correa fires off a great shot at goal on the half volley after some neat link-up play with Griezmann, but the Villarreal keeper makes the stop at his near post.
88'
This result would take Villarreal to the top of Liga after Real Madrid's draw with Malaga earlier today. If Atletico Madrid can take a point Barcelona would be the ones on top of the pile.
87'
As things stand it's actually Villarreal who look most likely to find the net, rather than Atletico Madrid. I'm starting to get the sense that the resurgance from the away side might not happen.
86'
This could be a very bad day for the Big Three in Spain. Barcelona won but suffered an injury to Messi, while Real Madrid were held to a goalless draw by Malaga at the Bernabeu.
85'
Can Atletico Madrid create the one chance they need to get back into this game? They have been very quiet in this second half. Can either Torres or Vietto make an impression?

TORRES COULDN'T MAKE THE CONNECTION! Filipe whipped a wicked cross into the Villarreal box, with a flick on from Correa helping it on, but Torres couldn't stretch to make contact.
83'
Fantastic tracking back by Saul! Nanuel beats Godin and looks to drive into the Atletico Madrid penalty area, but the opposition midfielder tracked back and made the crucial challenge.
82'
This has been an exellent performance from the home side so far. Villarreal have rarely been troubled at the back, even after Simeone made his changes at the break. Comfortable at the moment.
81'
Bailly had to be careful there. The Villarreal defender was in a battle with Correa for the ball inside the penalty area, but he remains strong and eventually wins the freekick himself.
80'
The big news in La Liga this afternoon was that Lionel Messi has suffered an injury that will keep him out of action for two months. How will that impact on the title race in Spain?
79'
I think we all expected Atletico Madrid to build up a head of steam at some point in this match, but so far it hasn't happened. The capital side just haven't found their groove this evening.

Villarreal sub: Manuel Trigueros OFF, Tomas Pina ON.
77'
That was a strange call. Soldado is flagged for offside and makes his appeal to the referee. He had a case too, because the former Spurs striker was inside his own half when the ball was played.
76'
It's difficult for Torres and Vietto when the service into the attacking duo has been so poor from Atletico Madrid. The move into midfield certainly hasn't helped Griezmann.
75'
However, despite Atletico Madrid's dismal performance so far this evening we have seen them pull out wins in similar situations through the years. Don't count them out just yet.
74'
Villarreal have stood up well whenever Atletico Madrid have tried to press them high up the pitch. They are good enough on the ball to play around them and hold their own in the face of it.
