67'

54'
T. Lemar enters the game and replaces J. Giménez.
Gimenez is replaced by Lemar as the defender is unable to continue. It looks as though he picked up a knock on his ankle. Simeone opts to go for a more attacking change in the hope to get a goal back sooner rather than later. Atletico have now switched to four at the back.
52'
Lodi gets down the left again and this time plays it back to Suarez who tries to chip Cardenas but Vezo is there to clear the ball behind for yet another corner.

48'
Kondogbia tries a shot from distance but he's off balance and his effort flies high and wide of the target. Suarez wasn't best pleased that the midfielder took the shot on there.
46'

45'
HALF TIME: Atletico Madrid 0-1 Levante
41'
Levante look so comfortable in possession today. Simeone will be absolutely furious with his team's performance so far, especially from Correa and Kondogbia who have been really poor. You'd expect there to be changes at half time for the home side because something needs to change if they're to get back into this game.
39'
What a waste of a chance that is from Rochina! All he had to do was slide the ball through for Morales but he gets the pass all wrong and Oblak comes out to collect. That was a great chance to make it 2-0 before the break.
38'
Cardenas does brilliantly to collect the ball after a powerful header from Gimenez had the goalkeeper scrambling across his line.
36'
Rúben Vezo gets yellow.
Vezo picks up the first booking of the match after a late tackle on Joao Felix. Vezo will miss the next match for Levante after picking up his fifth booking for the season.
31'
It's really poor defending by Atletico. Rochina is played through in behind Llorente, his cross is cleared and Kondogbia fails to deal with the danger before the ball falls to Morales who spins and shoots. It's an unlucky deflection off of Felipe that left Oblak unsighted and the hosts find themselves 1-0 down.
30'
Hermoso is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
GOALLLL! Levante take a shock lead through Morales! The striker's deflected shot beats Oblak in goal who had committed to diving to his right and the ball spins over him into the net!
29'
Lodi drives forward and wins a freekick after a late tackle from Coke sent the Brazillian tumbling to the floor.
27'
Levante are piling on the pressure midway through the first half. Kondogbia and Koke are struggling to pick up Bardhi and Malsa in midfield.
25'
It looks as though Atletico are really missing Kieran Trippier on the right side. His ability to create chances from set pieces and in spaces on the right flank has unbalanced this side quite dramatically.
22'
Levante build a nice attack but it's halted by Felipe. That was a vital block from the Brazillian as Morales danced his way around Kondogbia and Gimenez.
20'
Atletico seemed to have settled down now and are beginning to create a few more dangerous chances against a stern Levante defence.
18'
Suarez clips a ball into the box towards Lodi but Coke is there to clear behind for another Atletico corner.
15'
Suarez tries his luck from a tight angle and Cardenas has to settle for conceding a corner.
11'
Levante are having some joy against Llorente already. There is a lot of space to exploit between Llorente and Felipe which will need to be addressed by Simeone if the visitors continue to threaten.
8'
Llorente drives down the right and drills a cross into the box but Rober is there to clear it away for a corner.
6'
Malsa has actually started the game in midfield today after Postigo was withdrawn before kick off with a calf strain. Rober has slotted into the defence in Postigo's place.
4'
Llorente is playing wide on the right for the home side, acting as a wing back today when he is usually operating as a central midfielder or second striker. It will be interesting to see how he copes today.
2'
An early attack from the hosts is cleared well by Duarte. Lodi was in behind down the left and tried to find Suarez who was lurking on the penalty spot.
