Well that's a relief for the home side. Bailly has received a magic swipe of the magic sponge and is back on the pitch, albeit with a bit of a limp. He should be okay, though.
35'
This could be an issue for Bailly. He has sunk to the turf seemingly holding his calf. his would be a blow to Villarreal were they to lose the defender. He has been solid so far tonight.
34'
Villarreal have been good value for their lead in the opening half an hour or so. They are the ones doing the pressing, with Atletico Madrid creating very little in the final third so far.

Leo Baptistao has put Villarreal ahead in this match, finishing low past Oblak after 14 minutes. Of course, the striker is on loan at El Madrigal from Atletico Madrid, so there's your story!

Apologies for the delay in getting updates from this game to you. Suffering some technical issues on our end, but hopefully that's them out of the way and tied up in a corner never to get free again.

First chance for Atletico Madrid to sling a set piece into the Villarreal penalty area, but Godin can't direct Gabi's delivery towards goal with any real purchase. Easy save for Areola.
8'
If Atletico Madrid are to come away with a win at El Madrigal tonight you suspect that Antoine Griezmann will play a part. He has quickly become the shining star of Simeone's side.

With the exception of their defeat to Barcelona two weeks ago, Atletico Madrid have been impressive in La Liga this season. They look more solid than they were last term.

Roberto Soldado is starting for Villarreal this evening. He was a bit of a flop at Spurs but there have been signs that he is returning to something near his best now he's back in Spain.
5'
Jesus Gamez has been handed a rare start for Atletico Madrid this evening and one of his biggest weapons is his long throw. On this ocassion his throw in is caught by Areola, the keeper.
4'
Oliver Torres also keeps his place in the Atletico Madrid midfield. He spent last season on loan at Porto and has since nailed down a starting position since returning this summer.
3'
Diego Simeone has opted for Jackson Martinez in attack over Fernando Torres, who has been in good form for Atletico Madrid this season. The Colombian was their big money signing this summer.

Top spot is up for grabs tonight at El Madrigal! Any winner of this match will go top of the Liga table after Real Madrid's draw against Malaga at the Bernabeu. Not a bad incentive.
