Hello and welcome to tonight's coverage of Lleida Esportiu vs Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey.
Tonight's clash is the first of two between these two sides as the Spanish season gets back underway after the Christmas break. Atletico beat Elche over two legs to advance, while Lleida Esportiu were too much for Real Sociedad in the previous round.
With Lleida Esportiu in Segunda B, they're expected to struggle against Diego Simeone's men but they will have home advantage at the Camp d'Esports de Lleida this evening. Gerard Albadalejo's troops have won just once in their last five games, while Atletico have won three from five.
Lleida Esportiu coach Albadalejo makes six changes to his starting XI tonight. In come Oliveros, Trilles, Bandeh, Gning, Agudo and Radulovic for Rivas, Andriu, Lopez, Hurtas, Niergar and Felix.
Simeone decides to rest eight players from the defeat to Espanyol as Oblak, Brsajlko, Savic, Filipe Luis, Partey, Gabi, Koke and Griezmann drop out for Moya, Juanfran, Gimenez, Hernandez, Correa, Fernandez, Carrasco and Gameiro.
Striker Diego Costa is on the bench for Atletico this evening and he could make his long-awaited return after being forced to sit on the sidelines for the last month. The club's transfer ban meant both he and Vitolo were unable to play but Simeone names the duo in his squad.
The home side come into the game on the back of a 0-0 draw with Sabadell, while Atletico were left frustrated following a 1-0 defeat to Espanyol on December 22. Simeone's men have since played a friendly and they should be refreshed and ready to go!
Lleida 0-2 Atletico Madrid.
Simeone's side lead after two quick goals at the Camp d'Esports but the home side made such a good start to say there is a gulf in class. They wasted a couple of chances and Godin and Torres have now given Atletico total command of this tie.
In front of their own fans, Lleida will want to attack and grab a goal but they could be punished on the counter by their La Liga opponents. Both Costa and Vitolo could also get a run out as they look to improve their fitness levels.
FULL-TIME - Lleida 0-4 Atletico Madrid.
The La Liga giants will take a commanding lead into the second leg next week but they did not have it all their own way tonight. Lleida worked hard, looked good on the ball but they failed to take any of the chances. At the other end, Atletico were in top form and they punished their opponents with relative ease.
That is all for tonight folks, thanks for joining us! Goodbye.
Simeone will be delighted to finally have Vitolo and Costa in his squad but the latter may need a rest after tacking a whack to his right leg. He looked good in front of goal and will be a big threat for the rest of the campaign.
