Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the La Liga fixture between Elche and Atletico Madrid. We'll bring you all the action as it happens. Kick off is at 15:15 GMT.

FULL TIME: Elche 0-1 Atletico Madrid

Simeone is going nuts on the touchline. This has been a dreadful second half performance from Atletico Madrid. They got lucky with that missed penalty kick.

Off the post! What a moment in Atletico Madrid's season! Fidel was the one who stepped up to the mark, but he couldn't beat Oblak and find the back of the net! Off the post!

There will be four minutes of stoppage time played at the end of the match. Elche preparing to take the spot kick.

PENALTY KICK TO ELCHE! The referee has pointed to the spot for a foul in the area from a freekick!

Atletico Madrid have nothing else to play for this season. While Real Madrid still have the Champions League, it’s simply all about the league for Simeone and his players now.

Once Atletico Madrid get through the away match against Barcelona, they have a favourable run-in. Simeone’s side have games against Real Sociedad, Osasuna and Real Valladolid.

What an opportunity! That was the chance for Elche to snatch something from this match! The ball was played back in from a corner kick, but Barragan fires over the bar from close range!

Simeone just wants to shut up shop here and leave with all three points in his back pocket. Elche are growing in confidence as Atletico Madrid protect what they have.

This is a surprising one - Saul is on for Suarez for the final five minutes!

Gimenez comes off and Felipe comes on for the Uruguayan defender.

Josema is also off and Rodriguez has been introduced as Elche chase an equaliser.

Marcone comes off and is replaced by Ferrandez for the hosts.

This second half has been very edgy for Atletico Madrid. They looked set to blow away Elche in the opening 45 minutes, but the second half has been a very different story.

Injuries and suspensions have hindered Atletico Madrid in recent weeks, but Simeone should have done more to utilise his squad. It could cost his side by the end of the season.

The surprising thing about the defeat to Athletic Club last weekend was that it came just as Atletico Madrid looked to have rediscovered their form. They were impressive against Eibar and Huesca. This has been more of a grind!

And now Barragan is shown a yellow card for a rather cynical foul.

Boye becomes the next player to be shown a yellow card by the referee.

Shot from Trippier! The Atletico Madrid right back was looking for the run of Felix, the ball came back to him on the edge of the box, but he lashes his strike over the crossbar!

A change for the home side as Nino comes on for Elche.
