Atletico float one last long ball into the box, with Godin acting as a makeshift striker, but he gives away a foul trying to meet it in the air and the attack fizzles out.
90' +1
Cuellar grabs hold of a long ball intot he box as three minutes of stoppage time are announced. Looking like a 0-0 here, but if anyone is going to break the deadlock, it looks more likely to be Leganes!
89'
Š. Vrsaljko gets yellow.
CHANCE! Leganes work a corner short, and as the low ball comes in from the left with blue and white shirts lurking, Oblak gets out well to stop it and it's cleared!
Substitute Vrsaljko goes into the book for a late challenge.
88'
Thomas is dispossessed and Leganes try to break again. Atletico get back in time to reorganise, but the defenders get a break as they push the visitors back inside their own half for the meantime.
84'
Leganes try to break from an Atletico corner, but the final ball is overhit and it runs through to safety. Either side could score at the death here! It would certainly take a boost in the attacking quality we've seen so far though.
81'
N. Amrabat enters the game and replaces C. Beauvue.
Beauvue receives a warm ovation from the home fans as he is replaced by former Watford man Nordin Amrabat for the final 10 minutes or so. The striker has worked tirelessly up front and very nearly scored on two or three occasions.
77'
A. Szymanowski gets yellow.
Savic is taken out by Szymanowski after some good work down the right side from Atletico, and the Leganes captain goes into the book.
75'
Gerard Gumbau enters the game and replaces Gabriel Pires.
Gumbau replaces Gabriel as a more defensive option in the centre of midfield. Leganes don't want to throw this away now.
73'
Set-pieces look like Atletico's best chance of scoring tonight. They don't look like breaking them down from open play one bit, and even less so with Griezmann off the field.
72'
CHANCE! Carrasco whips a free-kick from the right into the area, but Cuellar gets up well to punch it away. Godin then flicks a header on from a deep cross that the keeper does very well to tip round the post!
Minute
Description
68'
As it stands, Carrasco has joined Torres up front, with Vrsaljko taking up the right wingback berth. Seems like a rather negative substitution to me.
67'
Š. Vrsaljko enters the game and replaces A. Griezmann.
It's a very interesting change here. Griezmann, the club's talisman, is taken off for right wingback Vrsaljko! Is Simeone settling for a point here, or is this part of some tactical reshuffle to put his side in front?
65'
Leganes get the ball into Atletico's half and try to swtich it, but it's massively overhit and it sails out for a throw.
62'
Fernando Torres enters the game and replaces L. Vietto.
Vietto is replaced by Torres as Simeone looks for a winner. The experienced striker will hope he can provide it in a game where his side are very much struggling to find a spark.
60'
CHANCE! The ball is played in beautifully down the Leganes left, and it's worked to Beauvue. It opens up to him on the edge of the box, and his swerving shot is destined for the top-right corner, only for Oblak to get a big hand on it and beat it out for a corner! What a hit from the striker!
59'
Leganes are so organised defensively. It's no wonder that they've only conceded three goals so far this season!
57'
Beauvue does brilliantly to nick the ball as Atletico played it around a little too casually, but Garcia - bombing forward on the left - gives away a silly foul and the attack comes to an end.
55'
Griezmann works hard to get back and intercept, but his pass is then loose and he gives the ball straight back! Thankfully for him, it goes out for a throw and his side can regroup.
54'
Y. Carrasco enters the game and replaces Á. Correa.
Correa is replaced by Carrasco. The Argentine was looking a little uncomfortable in his wingback role, and the introduction of some pace on that flank will be an asset both offensively and defensively for Atletico.
53'
CHANCE! Leganes work the ball into the box, but Oblak makes a solid save from a thumping first-time shot and Atletico clear. The visitors are far from comfortable in this game.
51'
Vietto surges through the middle, but three Leganes defenders surround him and the ball is won with a hard, but fair, challenge from Zaldua.
50'
Leganes win a free-kick of their own, but it's taken short instead of being pumped into the box and the opportunity is wasted as Atletico press quickly.
48'
Rubén Pérez gets yellow.
Pérez is booked for scything Griezmann down on the right wing. However, the free-kick is too close to Cuellar and he catches the ball.
47'
Szymanowski gets in behind on the left, but his cross is far too short and it is easily cleared. That flank - Leganes' left and Atletico's right - looks particularly susceptible. Correa isn't exactly a natural wingback.
46'
N. El Zhar enters the game and replaces D. Brašanac.
And we're back underway!
It's one winger for another as Brašanac is replaced by El Zhar.
45'
Leganes break quickly, but an overhit attempt to switch play quickly ends up allowing Atletico the time necessary to regoup, and the attack fizzles out.
42'
Godin is nearly dispossessed after dallying in possession, but gets away with a throw-in. Leganes are still standing firm at the end of this first half.
38'
Atletico win a corner, which is cleared away. Godin then chases the ball down in the corner, before bundling his man to the floor and giving away a foul.
37'
Atletico toss a long throw into the box, but Godin is penalised for a foul in the area and the pressure is relieved on Cuellar's goal.
33'
CHANCE! Saul strikes a sweet volley from a great cross-field pass, but it's straight at Cuellar, who beats it away to safety. That was a good hit from the midfielder!
29'
CHANCE! Griezmann is fed into the box with a deflected pass, and he races down the right past the onrushing keeper, who holds him up and forces him to play it backwards. The eventual effort is scooped and desperate, and the home side clear. Good goalkeeping from Cuellar there.
27'
Atletico are knocking it about nicely, but it's all in front of Leganes, who will take that all day long if they have to.
24'
Leganes are - admirably - trying to go toe-to-toe with Atletico here, and so far, they've had their share of chances to show for it. However, that approach may end up suiting Atletico more, giving them a little more space in behind to break late on, perhaps with the introduction of some pace to exploit tired legs.
21'
CHANCE! The ball is played over the top down the left, and Szymanowski cuts the ball back from the byline for Beauvue, who hits it just before it touches the turf with the outside of his right boot., but it flies just past the post with Oblak motionless! Big chance there! The home side aren't just here for a point!
20'
Atletico are administering their trademark press, trying to win the ball high up the pitch and forcing errors from Leganes players.
17'
Atletico work the ball from right to left well, and win a corner in the process. Godin gets up well to meet it, but can't get enough on the header under pressure.
16'
Leganes win a corner with a deflected shot, but it comes to nothing.
15'
It's interesting that Simeone has opted not to start the impressive Carrasco today. Perhaps he feels that Leganes would not commit enough men forward to make use of his pace in behind?
12'
So far, it's actually Saul who is playing wide on the left for Atletico Madrid, rather than Thomas. Leganes get a shot away from the edge of the area, but it's safely wide.
9'
CHANCE! There's a bicycle kick attempt from Beauvue in the box from a long throw, but he just misses his contact. Now that would have been spectacular!
8'
Leganes advance down the left and cross into the box, but Atletico stand firm and clear away confidently for a throw-in.
6'
Atletico Madrid win a free kick in Leganes' half and loft it into the box. It's half-cleared to Koke, but he can't capitalise and gives away a goal kick.
4'
Atletico win another corner, which is caught comfortably by Cuellar this time.
2'
CHANCE! Atletico win a corner early on and it comes off a few players before bobbling just wide of the far post as Giminez tries desperately to steer it in! Nearly the dream start for Atletico!
1'
And we're off!
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the La Liga fixture between Leganes and Atletico Madrid at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque.
The teams are out, so let's start with the home side.
Leganes XI (4-1-4-1): Cuellar; Garcia, Siovas, Dos Santos, Zaldua; Perez; Szymanowski, Gabriel, Eraso, Brasanac; Beauvue
Leganes substitutes: Bustinza, Gumbau, El Zhar, Champagne, Rico, Naranjo, Amrabat
Atletico Madrid XI (3-5-2): Oblak; Giminez, Godin, Savic; Thomas, Saul, Gabi, Koke, Correa; Griezmann, Vietto
Atletico Madrid substitutes: Moya, Torres, Carrasco, Vrsaljko, Juanfran, Gameiro, Gaitan
There are four changes from Atletico Madrid's Champions League defeat to Chelsea as Carrasco, Luis, Juanfran, and Gomez are all replaced by Giminez, Savic, Gabi, and Vietto. The home side remain unchanged.
Atletico Madrid will be looking to get back to winning ways after their 2-1 defeat to Chelsea in the group stages of the Champions League - their first at the Wanda Metropolitano. However, they are in good form domestically, and are third in La Liga, four points behind Barcelona. They are also one of the three remaining unbeaten teams in the league, alongside Barcelona and Valencia.
They won their last league game against second-placed Sevilla 2-0, and, in truth, they looked comfortable for large periods of what should have been a close contest. The home side - Leganes - are no pushovers though. They are a solid outfit, sitting seventh in the table on 10 points, and also won in the last round of league fixtures, beating Las Palmas 2-0 away from home.
Leganes also have the joint-second best defence in the league, having conceded just three goals in six games (the same as Sevilla), just one behind Barcelona - who have won all six of their opening games. However, they are not a high-scoring side, with just five goals so far this season. Only three teams have scored less in Eibar, Malaga, and Alaves, who occupy the three relegation places - the latter two have yet to win a game.
And that's half-time! A rather uneventful first half sees Leganes successfully holding off Atletico Madrid, who have struggles to create any clear-cut openings so far. If the score stays the same, the visitors will miss out on the chance to leapfrog Sevilla into second, and could fall six points behind league leaders Barcelona if they win their next game.
And Atletico are going to have to improve on their 20% shot accuracy from the first half if they want to be the side to break the deadlock, having missed the target with four of their five shots.
If anything, Leganes have actually created more clear openings, with Beauvue's narrow miss the best of their first-half chances.
And there's the final whistle! Leganes more than held their own against the big boys in Atletico Madrid, and looked the more likely side to score. For the visitors though, it is another disappointing result after their Champions League defeat to Chelsea, while they lose ground on Barcelona in the title race, and miss out on regaining second spot from Sevilla. All credit to the home side though, who defended in organised fashion and tried to make the most of their counter-attacks. It finishes 0-0 though, and it's a point Leganes will certainly be happy with.
