Simeone surely wants to get his team into the dressing room at half time to give them some fresh instructions. Atletico Madrid need a new game plan because this isn't working.
36'
Atletico Madrid are wound up. They look extremely frustrated. Nothing is happening for them. They can't find their flow when they have the ball and Girona are really getting at them.

There's the first booking of the match and it is shown to Carrasco for throwing an arm into the face of a Girona player.

What an incredible start to life in La Liga for Girona. They are outplaying Atletico Madrid and now they have a 2-0 lead. Big problems for Simeone and his players. They look overwhelmed.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Girona 2 (25 mins - Christian Stuani) Atletico Madrid 0. Wow, wow, wow! Girona have added a second and it's Stuani again! The hosts caused problems with a delivery into the Atletico Madrid penalty box and the big striker made no mistake in heading home past Oblak! What a sensational start.

Well, what a moment that was for Girona and their fans. They have shown more urgency and discipline in the opening half hour of this match and probably deserve to be in the lead.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Girona 1 (23 mins - Christian Stuani) Atletico Madrid 0. The newbies have their first goal as a La Liga club! Stuani got up early to get on the end of a cross into the box and guided a header past Oblak and into the Atletico Madrid net. What a start!

We talked about Atletico Madrid's ambitions for this season a little earlier, and Simeone will indeed want his team to challenge for everything. The stability could actually help them.
27'
The organisation from Girona has been fantastic in the opening 30 minutes of this match. They are closing down Atletico Madrid quickly and making sure they don't move forward with the ball.
26'

Carrasco has been kept quiet so far. The Belgian is the link between Atletico Madrid's midfield and attack, but he hasn't seen much of the ball. Girona will want to keep it that way.
24'
Of course, the case could be made that this is how Atletico Madrid like it. How many times have we seen them bettered in terms of possession only for them to come away with three points?
23'
This has been an impressive start to the match by Girona. They are the ones dictating the pace and direction of the game. It's Atletico Madrid who are plugging the gaps and keeping their shape.

The thing about Costa is that Atletico Madrid have become a much more dynamic side since he left four years ago. Signing the Spanish international would see Atleti become more physical again.
20'
Just going back to the chat about Costa, the Spanish international striker is set on returning to Atletico Madrid this summer. He is refusing to return to training with Chelsea.
19'
Saul probably should have done better with that strike. The midfielder surged to the edge of the Girona box before taking the shot, but he sliced it high and wide of the target.
18'
Just before this game kicked off, there was some breaking news among the English press that Atletico Madrid have agreed a deal with Chelsea for the transfer of Diego Costa.
