Well I never. The first La Liga game at the Butarque, and Leganes earn a point; Atleti, now below them in the table. have played two promoted sides in their first two games and beaten neither. Fantastic stuff, incredible achievement, goodnight.

FULL-TIME! LEGANES 0-0 ATLETICO MADRID
90+3'
Saul swings a long ball out to Filipe Luis, but Pires charges in to head clear.
90+1'
WHAT A MISS FERNANDO TORRES! Filipe Luis strides down the left again, swirls over a cross, and Torres arrives perfect to head - his body shape is perfect, he's going to flick it into the far corner, except gets too much on it and it's straight at Serantes.
90'
There shall be four added minutes.
90'
Cringe.
88'
Filipe Luis goes down the left and slings over a cross that flies beyond the back post and behind. He beats the turf in frustration, and well he might - Atleti are going to be four points off the top very shortly.
86'
Unusually for them, Atletic aren't giving off the vibes of a team that knows it's going to score, just as Leganes aren't behaving like a team that expects to concede.
84'
It's pretty quiet out there. What an effort this is from Leganes.

This looks like it's it! Giatan floats a delectable pass over the top from centre to left, finding Carrasco. He's wider than he'd like, but he absolutely panels his shot ... only for Serantes to stand strong and block! He's been brilliant tonight.
81'
Diego Godin takes a ball in the face. The ball cries out in pain.
80'
On the plus side, Atleti's black kit is pretty smart.

Final change for Atleti: off goes Augusto, on comes Gaitan.

This is marvellously petulant from Guerrero. Oblak chucks the ball down to himself to kick out, but just as he's about to, in slides yerman like it's Fifa 98, taking the keeper out and earning a booking. Somehow, he contrives to look affronted.

Nice from Carrasco, who nashes outside two men down the left - that's one way of eliminating a massed defence - and whips back a cross for Griezmann, who tries a whip of his own, to finish. But it's with his right foot, and the shot goes well wide.
75'
Atleti have created nothing in the last 15 minutes. Perhaps the might try a few shots, because with so many defenders serried so deep, their crosses are struggling to cause any aggravation.

Filipe Luis dances infiled and threads a delicious nutmeg through Unai Lopez's legs, so Matovani chugs right through him, and is booked. The free-kick is 25 yards out, more or less dead centre, bit Griezmann clips a shot straight into the wall.

Griezmann pulls right and bursts across Diego Rico and Unai Lopez, so Ruben Perez pulls him back and is booked.
69'
It's been a while since Leganes gave up a chance. They're playing with a back five now, but just as often it's a line of six. That's not easy to break down, whoever you are.
67'
Much at Atleti do need the width that Carrasco might supply they need to switch the ball more quickly to make the most of it. Their passing and movement is just so laboured tonight.
