Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Atletico Madrid against Valencia at Estadio Vicente Calderón in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final.

Costa wallops a drive at goal. Straight into the arms of Courtois.

A 2-1 defeat wouldn't be a disaster for Valencia, but 3-1 would be a big ask as Adrian screws a shot from distance wide of goal.

Suddenly the Atletico fans back in full voice. Rami got caught out in playing a number of home players onside from that delivery.

GOAL! Miranda heads home from close range from Diego's free-kick. Awful defending by the visitors. Atletico lead 2-1. Valencia all over the show.

Feghouli brings down Diego. Feghouli is walking a tightrope here having already been booked.

Juanfran slips the ball down the line. Arda Turan throws over a cross, but Topal clears the danger.

Valencia get the second period off and running.

Gabi off the park needing treatment for a bloodied nose after a challenge with Feghouli. There goes the whistle for the break. Somehow Valencia are level in this contest.

GOAL! Jonas slips the ball home at the back post! Against the run of play, but Jonas was on hand to score from Rami's header. 1-1 now. Atletico stunned.

Costa's free-kick is swatted away by Courtois with Rami challenging.

One or two minutes to be added to the first period.

Falcao challenges Diego Alves in the air. Atletico really piling bodies forward at every opportunity.

Arda Turnan decides to thump a shot at goal from distance. Wide of the target. A goalkick to the visitors.

Diego with another decent corner, but Mathieu is there to head clear. Not much to be said for this Valencia performance. Not the most convincing of nights for the visitors.

Arda Turan takes out Costa with a late challenge and is rightly booked.

Adrian tackled by Mathieu after a mistake by Rami. Valencia all over the place at the moment.

Valencia will probably be happy to get to the break trailing 1-0 the way this has gone.

The visiting side concede another corner. Diego whips in the corner, but Mathieu is on hand to head clear the danger.

Diego runs off Topal, but Diego Alves is out to collect. Valencia need to start cutting off these crosses at source otherwise they are going to lose a second goal.
