YELLOW CARD: Koke (Atletico Madrid)
92'
Aquino has had a terrific game. He was impressive when he played for Villarreal last season, and in truth I'm surprised that they let him leave on loan this season. He's been fantastic tonight.
91'
Is there a winner in this game? Rayo are still trying to break as quickly as they can, but of course this is the best defence in La Liga that they are coming up against. Godin and Miranda are holding firm.

Three minutes of stoppage time to be played.
89'
Atletico win a corner kick, with the ball falling to Koke at the back post. But just as he's looking to take the shot, one of his teammates gets in his way and actually makes a tackle.
88'
Atletico have looked tired tonight. And this is the opening game of the league season for them! Has their Super Copa exerts against Real Madrid taken their toll on this game?
87'
Rayo are winding up one last assault on the Atletico Madrid goal. They're keeping hold of the ball, trying to draw Atletico out of their own half, who look quite happy to come away with a draw.
86'
So Atletico's new big summer signings have been withdrawn, and now Simeone is relying on a teeanger and an erratic attacker (Rodriguez) for the breakthrough in their opening Liga game.

Atletico Madrid sub: Antoine Griezmann OFF: Cristian Rodriguez ON.

Rayo Vallecano are chasing down the ball whenever Atletico have it, forcing the champions to lump it long, bringing pressure back on top of them. Rayo are dominant right now.

YELLOW CARD: Mario Suarez (Atletico Madrid)

Atletico Madrid have their backs to the wall here. They would probably take a point if it was offered to them now. Rayo have had such an impressive second half. It's a wonder they haven't scored.

A cross is played into the Atletico box from the byline, with the ball bouncing around the penalty area. Manucho gets the biggest contact on it, directing a shot towards goal but Mayo saves.

Another good chance for Rayo! Aquino performs a terrific piece of skill to beat Ansaldi on the right wing, swinging a wicked cross into the six yard box. But Manucho can't quite make the connection. Had he done so it would have surely been a goal.
77'
Koke smashes a shot towards goal on the bounce from the edge of the box, with Quini taking the effort straight in the face. The referee stops the play to allow the right back to make a recovery.

Manucho has been very impressive since coming on. Rayo are working off his presence as a frontman, making the most of his knockdowns. Rayo look very dangerous and are going for the win.

Another big chance for Rayo! Bueno manages to play the ball to Aquino inside the box, who tries to shift the ball onto his left foot for the shot, but it's too much and Atletico make the challenge in time.
