43'
Jesús Navas gets yellow.
Penalty goal scored by L. Ocampos for Sevilla!
Navas is booked for saying a bit too much to the referee, probably about how long Sevilla's players had to wait for the penalty to be given. No matter - Ocampos is readying himself...
GOAL! ATLETICO 2-2 SEVILLA! Ocampos dispatches the penalty into the bottom left corner, sending Oblak the wrong way. He becomes the first Sevilla player to score in four consecutive league games since Pablo Sarabia in March 2018.

That was great awareness from Koke to spot Joao Felix when he had the right to shoot himself. This is some game so far!

32'
Penalty goal scored by Álvaro Morata for Atletico Madrid!
GOAL! ATLETICO 1-1 SEVILLA! Morata draws things level with a well-taken penalty, swishing the ball into the bottom left corner beyond Vaclik's dive. The striker celebrates with a good old ball-under-shirt baby celebration.

19'
L. de Jong has scored a goal for Sevilla! Assist by Joan Jordán.
That was a delightfully weighted pass by Jordan to set that up. Sevilla have easily been on top so far.
GOAL! ATLETICO 0-1 SEVILLA! De Jong latches onto Jordan's pass into the centre of the box, takes a touch and finishes into the bottom right corner. It's a very good finish.

5'
As you'd expect, Sevilla are looking to be proactive on the ball while Atletico sit deep, waiting to spring on the counter-attack. Atletico get the chance to counter and win a second corner off Navas, which Koke takes. Nothing comes of it.
3'
Atletico start on the front foot as Jordan concedes the first corner of the game. Trippier whips it in and Felipe heads high and wide. Good start by the home side.

And we're off here in Madrid!
Hello! Welcome to our live text commentary of this La Liga match between Atletico Madrid and Sevilla at Wanda Metropolitano, Madrid.
This could be a crucial match for both Atletico and Sevilla's Champions League hopes. Diego Simeone's Atletico currently sit fifth in the table having drawn 11 of their 26 league games this season, their joint highest-ever total at this stage of a top flight season. They need more wins to make sure they get back into the top four.
SEVILLA (4-3-3): Tomas Vaclik; Jesus Navas (c), Jules Kounde, Diego Carlos, Sergio Reguilon; Joan Jordan, Ever Banega, Nemanja Gudelj; Lucas Ocampos, Luuk de Jong, Suso.
SUBS: Sime Vrsaljko, Hector Herrera, Vitolo, Antonio Adan, Yannick Carrasco, Diego Costa, Jose Gimenez.
ATLETICO MADRID (4-4-2): Jan Oblak; Kieran Trippier, Stefan Savic, Felipe, Mario Hermoso; Joao Felix, Koke (c), Marcos Llorente, Saul Niguez; Angel Correa, Alvaro Morata.
Sevilla are having a promising campaign under Julen Lopetegui. The Andalusians are third at the moment, two points above Atletico, after back-to-back league wins, having scored at least once in their last 18 games. They'll be keen to keep Atletico below them for a while longer.
The two sides are out on the Wanda Metropolitano pitch. Atletico will play in their usual red and white striped shirts and blue shorts. Sevilla are wearing their usual all white kit. It doesn't clash as much as it sounds.
