00:00Oh, yeah!
00:16It's over on the right-hand side for Correira.
00:20Finally cuts that back as Iago Aspas doesn't quite have enough space for a shot.
00:24Iglesias has his back to goal.
00:26It's Aspas again, left-footed strike from Aspas!
00:28Aspas has to be kept out by Romo Black.
00:30And Iglesias was racing after it.
00:33It was too close to the goalkeeper who saves in instalments.
00:49Try and get the challenge in, Iglesias.
00:51Oh, lovely touch from him.
00:52He's opened up some space.
00:53Fedberg might get the cross in over towards the back post.
00:56Who can reach it?
00:57Borja Iglesias with the header.
00:58It's a great save from Iago Black.
01:02And Celta had Atletico Madrid on the ropes.
01:04Los Colchoneros left to fight another day.
01:15A little more urgent now from Celta Vigo.
01:17There's the opportunity for a cutback.
01:18Iglesias!
01:20Well, an improvised touch from him.
01:23Well, half an overhead kick through necessity rather than judgement.
01:33Kriesman outside to Molina. Molina inside.
01:36Gallagher opts against a shot.
01:39The player is in scoring form at the moment.
01:41There's a low effort that Kuwait has to get down to save.
01:45Really the first shot he's had to save tonight.
01:53Still on here for Celta Vigo.
01:57On to the right, played towards the back post.
01:59It's knotted down.
02:00And there's a strike over the top.
02:04Good opportunity for Celta Vigo.
02:06Much like that Borja Iglesias effort earlier in this half.
02:12It wasn't kept down.
02:14Cut back here.
02:17Back to Kriesman.
02:19We'll find out how much stoppage time he's had.
02:21The ball's over at the back post.
02:22It's found its way into the net.
02:25It's Julian Alvarez.
02:27They needed a hero.
02:30And Julian Alvarez,
02:32he's got it.
02:34He's got it.
02:36He's got it.
02:38He's got it.
02:40He's got it.
02:41He's got it.
02:42Julian Alvarez pops up at the back post.
02:45The deliveries have been wayward tonight.
02:47But that one was just the ticket for Atletico Madrid.
03:01And with that, it's game over.
03:03Atletico Madrid take a victory by one goal to nil.
03:07An important triumph for Diego Simeone's men.
03:12Goal.
