Atletico are cruising their way to victory again at El Coliseum. Simeone has one more fixture before the big one against RB Leipzig.
90' +4
It is nearly three for Atletico! Morata breaks down the left wing before unselfishly playing in Vitolo on the edge of the area. The forward's shot stings the hands of Soria, who turns it around the post. However, none of that will matter as the assistant had his flag up the whole time.
90' +3
That was needless and out of nowhere from Nyom. Sanchez went to flick a header on, only to be greeted by the full-back's boot in the air. What was he thinking there?
90' +2
A. Nyom goes off after a red card!
RED CARD! Nyom is given a straight red! Oblak had launched the ball towards Sanchez on the left before Nyom clattered in to the full-back’s head with a high foot. Lahoz deems the challenge was too dangerous for his liking and instantly makes his mind up. Getafe’s defender may get in further trouble after the game as well as he aggressively got in the face of the referee following his decision.
90' +1
There will be seven minutes of added time.
90'
Lemar is slid in by Herrera and tries to cross to Morata. The striker cannot bundle his shot over Soria from the near post and Atletico will have a corner.
89'
Lemar spins away inside before finding Vitolo's feet, the forward is then clattered in the back by Cabaco and Atletico have a free-kick around 20 yards out on the right. This is a shooting opportunity and Lemar hovers over it but sends his shot at well.
87'
Oblak comes for the corner but fails to collect, no one is behind him and the ball races out of play. Oblak gets away with one there as he uncharacteristically struggles in the air.
86'
Nyom crosses towards the far post but, again, Gimenez is there to deflect the ball away for a Getafe corner.
Minute
Description
84'
T. Lemar enters the game and replaces Á. Correa.
H. Herrera enters the game and replaces Diego Costa.
A. Ndiaye enters the game and replaces Hugo Duro.
F. Fajr enters the game and replaces M. Arambarri.
Arambarri is replaced by Fajr in midfield.
Costa is taken off and switched for Herrera. Vitolo will join Morata up front.
Simeone opts for fresh legs with Lemar replacing Correa, who has been efficient in midfield in this game.
80'
T. Partey has scored a goal for Atletico Madrid! Assist by Vitolo.
Morata is demanding a penalty after he is played through and brought down by Nyom but Lahoz is having none of it. Atletico had done well to break Getafe's high press before that and should feel unlucky they have not increased their lead.
GOALLLL!!!! 2-0 ATLETICO! Vitolo is released with a throughball over the halfway line, he seems to hesitate in the box before stabbing a pass towards the penalty spot which Thomas runs on to and slams the ball in to the bottom right corner. Soria managed to get a hand to the shot but Thomas’ effort was far too powerful from close range.
Vitolo assists from the left of the box. After it initially looked like the chance had broken down, the winger pokes the ball to the centre of the box for Thomas to slam home.
77'
Vitolo enters the game and replaces Y. Carrasco.
Vitolo is brought on in place of Carrasco on the left wing.
76'
The referee sees the substitution as a perfect time to call for a drinks break. Fifteen minutes of normal time remain and Atletico seem to be heading for yet another win.
75'
Álvaro Morata enters the game and replaces Marcos Llorente.
Llorente, the man who opened the scoring for Atletico, limps off to be replaced by Morata up front.
74'
Llorente is limping about and seems to be indiciating that he has had enough and needs to come off of the pitch.
70'
Llorente, again, goes searching down the right wing before attempting a heel chop in to the path of Correa but the Getafe defence keep up and play the ball back to Soria to remove any danger.
69'
Arias does well to pressure Angel, who looks to latch on to Jason's flick-on. Oblak will save those sort of chances all day as Angel can only head down the middle of the goal.
68'
Jorge Molina gets yellow.
Molina catches Costa late and high on the ankle, rightly earning him a yellow card from Lahoz.
67'
T. Partey enters the game and replaces Saúl.
Saul, who has just been booked, is replaced by Thomas in midfield as Simeone looks to protect their 1-0 lead.
65'
Atletico break through Llorente and he finds Correa in the middle. Koke then runs on to a through ball and backheels for Arias, who looks to overplay and the chance for Atletico has gone.
64'
Saúl gets yellow.
Saul is shown a yellow card for his aerial challenge in the middle of the park. That seems a bit harsh on first viewing.
63'
It looks like the changes mean Angel will join Molina up front with Duro moving out to the left wing.
61'
Jason enters the game and replaces M. Olivera.
Jorge Molina enters the game and replaces N. Maksimović.
Maksimovic is swapped out for Molina as Bordalas looks to attack.
Olivera is changed for Jason, which also signifies a change in personnel for Getafe's midfield as Nyom drops back to right-back.
60'
Ángel Rodríguez enters the game and replaces Jaime Mata.
It looks like Getafe are lining up a triple change as they look to get back in to this game.
Striker Mata, who had two great chances in the first half, is replaced by Angel Rodriguez.
59'
Cucurella runs inwards and then switches the play out to Cabaco, who crosses from deep straight out for Atletico goal-kick.
56'
Djene goes shoulder to shoulder with Llorente down the left and the Atletico striker falls down under the defender's pressure. Lahoz has a long, hard look at it before deciding it will be a Getafe goal-kick and not a penalty.
54'
Marcos Llorente has scored a goal for Atletico Madrid! Assist by Y. Carrasco.
GOALLLLL!!! 1-0 ATLETICO and it is that man Llorente of course! Carrasco goes roaming down the left wing and beats a couple of defenders before the ball falls to Llorente, who turns away from Timor and wrong-foots Soria from 20 yards out with a placed shot in to the bottom right corner. VAR has a long look at it but decides there was no infringement in the initial play and the goal stands.
Carrasco goes on a mazy run past a couple of Getafe defenders and then slips a pass in to the feet of Llorente.
52'
The referee decides it to be a Getafe free-kick from around 30 yards out, despite being down Duro does not require treatment and Felipe also escapes booking. Timor sends the resulting chance straight in to the hands of Oblak; he was never beating the goalkeeper from that sort of distance.
51'
There is a bit of commotion out in the middle of the pitch after Duro is caught in the ribs by Felipe's knee. The challenge itself did not look too cynical as the centre-back leaped in the air for his header, but Getafe feel aggrieved and Lahoz has a decision to make here.
49'
It was that man Llorente again, every chance that Atletico have created in this game has come through him. Even if Joao Felix was fit, it is impossible to see Simeone leaving Llorente out of his side nowadays.
46'
The players are back out, Lahoz blows his whistle and we are back underway at El Coliseum!
Atletico are immediately on the attack after the restart, with Saul pressuring Maksimovic in to giving away a corner. Carrasco's cross is headed down by Costa but only straight in to the arms of goalkeeper Soria.
45' +4
J. Giménez gets yellow.
HALF-TIME: GETAFE 0-0 ATLETICO MADRID
45' +3
A lovely flick by Mata plays in Duro, who is chopped down by Gimenez to earn Getafe another chance to cross from deep.
Gimenez is booked for a cynical foul on Duro near the halfway line, which stopped Getafe from counter-attacking. A classic tactical foul from Simeone's central defender.
45' +2
Getafe again press extremely high up the pitch, which forces Oblak to send his goal-kick long and Getafe, once again, retain possession.
45' +1
A lot of space opens up for Carrasco to run in to, yet the winger opts to play a first time pass which goes out for a Getafe throw. The Belgian looks incredibly frustrated with himself there.
45'
There will be four minutes of added time in the first half, largely due to the early injury to Maksimovic.
44'
Arias lines up a hopeful shot from well outside the area, which is blocked and falls to Carrasco, who unleashes an even more hopeful shot from further out. That is not going to trouble Soria in the Getafe net.
43'
Nyom races past Sanchez on the right and produces a good cross towards the back post, which Arias heads away. Cucurella then has a chance with his left foot from the edge of the area but it comes to nothing as he fires over the bar.
42'
Timor receives a short goal-kick, which Correa instantly rushes up to pressurise and the defender has to play a pass back to Soria to launch forward.
40'
Arias sends a throw-in down the line, Costa does well to protect possession with Getafe players surrounding him. Atletico then work the ball well to Carrasco on the left wing but Nyom deals with the threat, earning Getafe a goal-kick in the process.
38'
Saul's handball gifts Getafe a free-kick on the right wing. Cucurella's delivery has been good so far and he produces yet another wonderful cross. A last ditch clearance by Gimenez removes the danger, with Mata stood behind the defender ready to pounce from around eight yards out.
36'
Carrasco goes down under the pressure of Cabaco in the box. Simeone waves his arms on the touchline but his winger barely appeals, referee Lahoz rightly deems it to not be a penalty.
35'
Koke almost plays in Duro on the halfway line with a weak header backwards. Felipe steps in before the striker can capitalise on the chance to break.
33'
Llorente dances round Timor and reaches the byline, he looks to cut the ball back to Costa on the penalty spot but his strike partner can only scuff his shot straight in to the Getafe defence.
31'
Thirty minutes have been played at El Coliseum which means the players will have a drinks break. It has been all Getafe so far but Atletico are slowly working their way back in to it.
28'
Twice Atletico have attempted to release Carrasco in the last two minutes and both times the passes have been overhit and Getafe retain possession.
26'
Cucurella floats in a free-kick heading for the back post and Gimenez turns it away for another Getafe corner. Atletico again remain firm in their defence from the corner and head Cucurella's corner away.
24'
Maksimovic plays a free-kick short to Timor, the defender then suprisingly strikes a wicked left-footed shot from all of 40 yards out, which Oblak parries away for a corner.
20'
Carrasco sends a diagonal switch towards Arias and the full-back has a lot of room on the right but no forward passing options, which forces him to play backwards.
18'
After three quick chances for Getafe the game has settled down and Atletico, sensibly, seem more reluctant to play out from the back for the moment.
14'
What a start for Getafe, they are relentlessly pressing high up the pitch and refusing to give Atletico any thinking time on the ball. This is brave from a side that has only won one of their last six home games, however, it is paying off and the hosts should be ahead.
9'
Cabaco sends a ball long but it goes well over the top of Duro and Oblak retrieves the wayward pass before trying to launch a long pass to Costa.
5'
Correa roles in Llorente, who races away from Timor before crossing but Djene does well to chest the ball out of play, meaning Atletico have the first corner of the game.
4'
Play has restarted and Carrasco sends the free-kick straight in to the wall and Atletico will have to recycle possession on the right-hand side.
2'
An early foul by Maksimovic sees Atletico earn a free-kick deep in their own half, which Oblak will launch forward. Oblak's long pass sees Costa fouled off the ball and Atletico will have another chance to cross from around 30 yards out.
1'
Referee Mateu Lahoz blows his whistle and we are underway at El Coliseum!
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the LaLiga fixture between Getafe and Atletico Madrid.
Since the restart, these two teams could not have had more contrasting fortunes. Atletico remain unbeaten and have already secured Champions League football, while Getafe have struggled (winning only once in the last 10) and look to be limping towards a Europa League spot - if they can manage to fend off Real Sociedad in seventh place.
GETAFE (4-4-2): David Soria; Mathias Olivera, Djene Dakonam, David Timor, Erick Cabaco; Mauro Arambarri, Marc Cucurella, Nemanja Maksimovic, Allan-Romeo Nyom; Hugo Duro, Jaime Mata.
ATLETICO MADRID (4-4-2): Jan Oblak; Santiago Arias, Felipe, Jose Jimenez, Manuel Sanchez; Yannick Carrasco, Angel Correa, Saul Niguez, Koke; Marcos Llorente, Diego Costa.
SUBS: Renan Lodi, Thomas Lemar, Vitolo, Thomas Partey, Ivan Saponjic, Alvaro Morata, Rodrigo Riquelme, Hector Herrera, Antonio Adan, Stefan Savic.
The players are making their way on to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez pitch and play will shortly be underway.
If Getafe continue to press high chances will come but they also run the risk of tiring in the later stages of the game. They do, however, need a result here to reaffirm their Europa League spot. Simeone will also be asking for more from his men in the second half but may already have half an eye on their Champions League fixture with RB Leipzig in August.
Getafe drop down to seventh after making it back-to-back home defeats for the first time since 2018 and they will need a result at Levante to guarantee Europa League football next season. Atletico move two points clear of fourth-placed Sevilla and host Real Sociedad in the season's final fixture but Simeone will no doubt turn his attentions to their upcoming Champions League tie against RB Leipzig in August.
