That was more of a grind than Simeone surely would have wanted, but Atletico Madrid get over the line and they start their league campaign with a win for the first time since 2015. Felix and Trippier were both impressive, although Atleti should have finished off the job long before they did.

Just one minute left to play at the Metropolitano. Is there one last opportunity left in this match? Getafe certainly haven't given up hope, but the clock is now against them.

Savic goes down after taking a shot to the middle of the head, but the Atletico Madrid defender is back on his feet. The hosts are edging that little bit closer to an opening weekend win.

Vitolo was through! An Atletico Madrid counter attack sees Morata send Vitolo through on goal, but his second touch let him down and that allowed Soria to make the save! That was the chance to end this.

These are some nervy moments for Atletico Madrid. They have been in control for the majority of the match, but this 1-0 lead is a precarious one and Getafe are still in this!

Off the crossbar! Inches away from an equaliser for Getafe! That's easily the closest they have come to finding the back of the net. Angel unleashes a strike from 20 yards out and the ball crashes off the woodwork.
86'
We were told that Atletico Madrid had changed their identity over the summer, and they have played an open game. But they are four minutes away from a 1-0 win at home. Familiar.
85'
Into the wall! That was an opportunity for Getafe to test Oblak for the first time in the match, but Fajr sends his freekick effort into the wall. It was tough for him to get it up and down from that distance.

Is there one last twist left in this match? Given the way they have played large spells of this game, Simeone will surely be disappointed that Atletico Madrid only have a one-goal advantage.

There has been so much drama already on the opening weekend of the 2019/20 La Liga season. Barcelona lost to Athletic Club, Real Madrid beat Celta Vigo... is there one last twist here?

Nyom picks up a yellow card for a cynical foul on Vitolo. No complaints about that one.

Indeed, there is definitely a nervousness around the Metropolitano now. Atletico Madrid have certainly been the better of the two teams, but they have only managed to score once.
