Merida wins a free-kick left-centre, 30 yards out, Simao obviously... nice effort but Tiago can't connect this time. That's the whistle, the home fans jeer but a good win for Atletico, who move sixth.

Two minutes added time...

Simao puts a corner in but Malaga clear. That could well be his last act in an Atletico shirt.

QUINCY HITS THE SIDE NETTING! Powerful effort from the right after an error from Filipe Luis.

Portillo with a super cross this time but Rondon heads well over. Should have done better.

Portillo with a foul on Filipe. He's barely touched the ball since coming on at the break.

Garcia is booked for a foul on Duda.

Stadsgaard with a good defensive header from Merida's cross.

No card for the Malaga wide man, and Tiago is okay anyway. Most of the home fans have left now.

Eliseu with a lunge at Tiago, who is hurt...

Malaga thought they had a corner but it's overruled. Rondon loses his rag with Ujfalusi.

ATLETICO SUB: One ex-Arsenal man on for another, Reyes replaced by Fran Merida.

Eliseu swings a cross into the box but Atletico clear easily enough.

Atletico manage to break after that as Reyes races away but Ruben gets down to save the finish, which was straight at him from the edge of the box.

Malaga have a free-kick on the left but a poor ball in by Duda. Perea's clearance is just as bad though...

Quincy gets in down the right but a poor delivery is cleared easily by Atletico.

The corner is aimed at Eliseu but Tiago just about clears.

An awkward bouncing header from Rondon has to be tipped around the post by De Gea.

Malaga are a bit broken now, Atletico totally in control and they bring Costa on for Aguero.

THREE NIL! And it's Tiago again with a flashing header, more rotten marking and it's Simao AGAIN with a free-kick from wide left.
